I should add that I had the MRI because of feeling of "pressure" on the side of my head and an episode of double vision. So my onc ordered the test. It was negative for tumor but showed abnormal small infarctions (possible strokes!). Then I had to see a neurologist who said that the report had been "over interpreted" by the rediologist or words to that effect. And I am fine. So it turned out to be much ado about nothing. Another day in cancer land. But it provided peace of mind. We are entitled to that.
