Many people don't realize that some forms of common cancers are far more aggressive in growing and spreading than others. Likewise, many people don't realize that not all types of growths are consistently visible in all the given imaging.
It could be that what did not show on the MRI here grew unusually fast in those couple of weeks. If that was the case, condemning the neurologist and entire hospital here would be reckless and destructive overall.

Very well said. I do sympathize with the OP, but aggressive cancers are just that..they aren't there, then they are. 7 weeks is a VERY long time for certain cancers. I don't think it's at all proper to vilify everyone previously involved.
