Diagnosis of Cerebellar Astrocytoma
Diagnosis is made by medical history including symptoms, physical exam including a neurological exam, and radiological studies such as a head CT (computed tomography) scan or a head MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)."
There was no biopsy involved and they confirmed it was a Cerebellar Astrocytoma. |
Nice spin.
FACT: A Ct or MRI can only determine the PRESENCE of a tumor. Diagnosing the EXACT nature of the tumor can ONLY be done with a biopsy. FACT.

Childhood cerebellar astrocytoma is diagnosed and removed in surgery.
If a brain tumor is suspected, a biopsy is done by removing part of the skull and using a needle to remove a sample of the brain tissue. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells. If cancer cells are found, the doctor will remove as much tumor as safely possible during the same surgery.

So how the FUCK do you know what kind of tumor it is since there has BEEN no biopsy?
