Hi again -
My largest tumor of 3 cm is still visible after 1 year post GK. It has shrunk some and I will find out what the MRI done today will show. But I was told to expect the larger one to be visible but dead as it takes the brain tissue a long time to absorb the dead cells.

One of the main things to look at is whether your Mom is having any symptoms and what those might be. If little or no symptoms, I would take that as a good sign.
