Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 has any one any info on the effects of x-rays on nf2? martin has an abdominal tumour which CTscan shows may be malignant. biopsy under another CT was insufficient sample. now 6 months down the line they want to do another CT,but he would prefer an mri because he believes that all these xrays are damaging to an unprotected nervous system. any info would be useful as " ammo " in his defense ! this request is quite urgent as the apt. is on thurs. thanks Sheila Re: Re: jeanette > > please take care and let us know how you are doing > > joanie > > cinnyd@... wrote: > > > > Jeanette, just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world with your > > surgery monday. i for one will be praying for an excellent outcome.
