I am assuming from your question that you have consulted with lawyers who have informed you that because your tumor has been successfully treated, your damages do not warrant a medical malpractice suit. This is probably true, although there may be some damages asociated with the delay in diagnosis. I do suspect that the multiple MRIs that you speak of would have been necessary even if the original MRI had not been misread.
