Measurement Wrong

I was dreading our appointment with Dr. T. He is the best surgeon but he is also cut and dry. I thought at first I would wait in the waiting room but, then I thought how unfair for Scott to get the news by himself. I decided to take a deep breath and be there for Scott. I did ask Dr. T. to go easy on me. When he pulled up the past scans and compared them with the recent one he found the mistake. The radiologist had measured higher than the last.
The ventricle that he measured is larger at the top and he measured it in the larger part making it look like there was swelling. The right part of Scott's brain is a darker gray then the left. When I asked what it was he said tumor, edema & scar tissue. That was hard to look because there was a huge area. Thank you for all who said a little prayer

As long as I'm understanding you right, that sounds like great news!! But at the same time, it's so annoying that they would scare you like that. I guess they're human too, but you'd think they'd be more careful when they're dealing with someone's life!
