For me to be able to answer please - if possible - let me read her full MRI report!
Madame, sorry to disappoint you but it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone & everyone to answer without enough information to base that answer on! Your question did not contain enough information so the easiest way of obtaining that seemed to be - and still seems to be - to read her full MRI report. I'm a dr.! NOT some kind of fortune teller!
