Tricia,

I firmly believe that you are entitled to your opinion. I think there is a good arguement for more frequent MRIs of the brain based on my wife's situation, but my bias is that this might not have lead to 30 months of tremendously expensive healthcare, emotional roller coaster, and seven months of separation from one another. If it had been found earlier, we could have had Gamma Knife treatment locally and likely be living a much better life. In your situation, nothing happened, as is the case 70% of the time. It might not be worth it in your case, but the outcome of my wife, Nina, might have been much better with a finding 12 months earlier.

If the MRI can let you hear the train far enough down the tracks, you can get out of the stalled car before the train kills you. We got lucky and are recovering from the train hitting the car while Nina was close. Now we are paying the penalty.
