[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Based on the information provided by you, the diagnosis in your sons' case is not clear. I would request you to upload the MRI pictures or the report, for us to understand better. Regarding necrosis, it refers to a damaged part of the brain. It is like a scar, which may remain for long. However, edema or swelling should not remain for long, so, the need for taking steroid also should not be there for long. One need not take cancer medicines, if there is no cancer. Presence or absence of cancer can be confirmed by doing a biopsy of the brain lesion. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor.
