Are you also getting PET scans with these MRIs? If so, what do they show? Sometimes it can be really hard to say what affect a treatment has on tumor growth. 30% up on one side of tumor while 30% down on the other side??? That seems weird. I'm questioning repeatability on imaging technique or some other factor at that point. So far my images/dimensions are trending slightly larger with each scan since surgery 2 years ago.

I have not had any follow up PET scans. I agree that the numbers do not seem to be logical. I also had one image read with one set of numbers at the beginning and a different measurement at the end of the report. I will ask the doctor to return them to imaging and reread. The quality control is lacking.
