Recently my friend visited me and was worried about what happened to him in past two year I am attaching herewith the reports of last CT-SCAN. He is willing to visit abroad if require but we have few question for our understanding.
What it is?
What can be done ?
How dangerous this is?
What time frame to react?
What are the chances of success?
