Depending on the view of your onc, a local zapping via RFA or Cyberknife might be in the offing. Joan has been pretty aggressive in this manner.

Did the PET/CT show measurable size increase or more uptake? My understanding of the CT part of a PET/CT is that it's not the best for small differentiations.

Did you get your first brain MRI because of symptoms?
