what is it?

Specialists are debating my diagnosis.

The MRI scan analysts favour a tumour. Deb heard it as the cancer doc favouring a necrosis diagnosis, I didn't notice that. True diagnosis will only come if my head is opened, no-one favours that.

What I did hear is that the cancer doc sees necrosis as a "better" problem. I disagree, strongly.

I see necrosis as an ever-growing death of brain. Once it's dead -- it's dead. If necrosis is removed -- that bit of brain is gone forever.

A tumour, I see as a lump of cancerous cells growing to crush the "good" brain.

The doc says that the brain itself can deal with necrosis (I'm not sure how). To me: remove a tumour -- and the "good" brain is still there.

Either way -- the new beelzebub drug may slow it down. Not cure, not stop, not prevent recurrence. And no matter what -- the original cancer is still classed as incurable and terminal. Oh well:-( But so far it has been less aggressive than advertised. So there:-)
