What do you learn from the f/u MRI 4 mos post op???

[amymeri]

Hi Everyone

I had my first post op MRI today (4 mos out) and I am curious what the docs are looking for besides regrowth/residual.

What am I liikely to hear about tomorrow at the NS?  They removed most/all of the tumor and I have SSD, 5th & 7th nerve palsy, slowly recovering. Will they be able to see how much inflammation is still left?  Will I have scarring?  Can they tell if my screw really is loose?
