P.S.

Those early white spots on MRIs are termed in neurology/MS slang as UBOs ... Unidentified Bright Objects.

It is great she has early scans on them. They are tracked over the years in regard to MS and can be an indicator or explaination of "weird" neuro. or cognitive symptoms if the symptoms ever line up to that area of the brain. It is great info. but over the years I have gotten the impression they are more indicators than any danger. I was never led to believe they might be a tumor (but that was in my own case). So over the years as I go into another MRI, I always ask them to "Say Hi to my Leeetle Friends," so they won't be shocked when they see my UBOs.
