He is not getting anywhere with the va. I told him to step out of the box. He has a Humana PPO . We are in Port Orange, Fl. don t know where to start?????
Hi, Regarding your concern, I would recommend discussing with a neurosurgeon on the possibility of radiotherapy or radiosurgery, to help decrease the dimensions of the tumor. From the other hand, biopsy would help determine the nature of the tumor and the possible treatment options. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. Best wishes,
