In April i had a massive and unclassified tumour operated on in my right frontal lobe. 99% of the tumour was removed and a month later i started my radiotherapy - 33 treatments with 70 "greys" used on the remaining tumour and the surrounding areas.
Eight weeks later the radiation burns and sickness is gone and i am coming off the medication as prescribed but i had my first MRI scan. To my shock I was shown a large mass (larger than the original tumour) of highly luscent cells (glowing whitely) - regardless of the fact the scan was not done with contrast, 99% of the tumour had been removed and I have lost all of the symptoms I originally presented with.
I'm curious if this is a KNOWN post radiotherapy artifact, water swelling or clumping of the dead tissue or a known presentation of tissue after radiotherapy on MRI. The registrar that presented the MRI's to me seemed to never have seen a post treatment/operative MRI of the brain after the radical treatment I have had. If anyone can answer this question or direct me to the books I would be most thankfull.
