"In January 2005, MRI scans showed a fantastic response to the initial treatment.  The October 29th, 2004, MRI shows retinoblastoma tumor filling Rati's left orbit, and extending through the optic canal into the brain. On January 24, 2005, the MRI shows normal appearing tissues in the left orbit, and normal brain structures where previously there was tumour.  Samples of Rati's cerebrospinal fluid were also found to be free of any cells bearing the unique "R251X" molecular marker of Rati's retinoblastoma tumour."
