My oncologist basically said the same thing your oncologist said. Monday and Tuesday I get these test done and then meet with my neurosurgeon on Wednesday, I should have everyones opinion by next week. My neurosurgeon has told me in the past the only sure way is a biopsy. The doctors feel that because I have been NED elsewhere for over 5 years why take a chance? I am not so keen on having any more invasive surgery so I am in mimbo and waiting for next week to be over!!
