I had my AN operation in 2009 and I had to have yearly check up MRI scans after that.In2015 the scan showed the AN was growing back and they decided on a course of radiotherapy-8 visits. The radiotherapy visits lasted about 15 minutes each and were quite relaxing-not clostrophobic like the MRI scans.So nothing to worry about-just the travel and the weather- Good luck. Anything else I can help with ,don't hesitate to get in touch BILLYLAD
