How long ago was radiation?

Another factor to consider is how long ago you had your radiation treatments. Even with hard tissue like bone, and definitely with soft tissue like brain, mets will expand due to the radiation, then overtime reduce. Our radio-Onc compared it to cooking a marshmallow in a microwave. First the radiation will cause an increase in mass, sometimes a dramactic increase, but after treatment and overtime the mass will "fall in on itself" often leaving just a speck of its former self.

I pray for you and that this is the case.

Love and Light
