Hi, finally got my MRI. A new tumor has developed. It's at 1/2cm. the other one is 4cm. Next step... mapping for radiation.

Radiation mapping is an important step that helps doctors plan the most precise treatment for both tumors. This process allows the medical team to target the affected areas while protecting healthy tissue as much as possible. Many members here have shared helpful experiences about what to expect during mapping and radiation treatment - hopefully others will chime in with their insights to support you through this next phase.

If it hasn't metastasis get an ablation...radiation is unnecessary...and leaves permanent damage..use that as a last measure
