QUESTION: i think the report said that it is not cancer and it is a benign tumor with size of 3.2cm x 1.4 cm x 2.92 cm... and it lies on the optic chiasm...i hope this is helpful..and i hope you can help me..thank you
Answer Ok. But if you can obtain her MRI report and copy it here it would be even better. That is a VERY tricky location! However she should consult people who are working with radiological treatment using the GammaKnife equipment. I have no idea where the closest machine to Egypt is but it is available in London. Maybe in Israel. It will be a tricky location also if this machine is used but she should at least ask and the tumour is not too large for it (upper limit in benign lesions is 4 cm). However the location so close to the optic nerves IS tricky! Good luck!
