Hi this is in response to the question about only MRI to detect brain cancer,
Dec.21st. my husband was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer, on Dec. 23rd,
they found it had metastases to the brain with 2 tumors there, and they had
only done cat scans, on Jan.11th. the Drs. said it looked like it had also
metastased to the bone by the bone scan, but we have not had any further testing
done on the bones, they have been concentrating on the brain with radiation, and
now with chemo for the lung, it was found in his right lung first and the last
set of cat scans showed it in the left lung, so we are praying day to day and
hoping for god's kindness,which ever he dicides. my husband is 61, we each had 5
children when we married 10years ago and between us we have 23 grandchildren,
and 1 grreatgrand son...... so we have been blessed so far... but we have not
had a mir yet............Lee
