Re: Brain Necrosis - No Add'l Treatment - Your thoughts
Hi Kris,
I am so sorry you are having to go through all this. Like you said, necrosis is much better than regrowth. As I understand it, with time your body should resolve this. I do agree with Chris about getting a second opinion. This should help relive some of the stress you no doubt are feeling. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as you work your way through this new challenge.
Lots of Hugs,
Sandra
