What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?

I recently had an MRI of my brain because of headaches. i am a cancer survivor. Saw my oncologist today he said I had articular sclorisis of the small blood vesels in my brain. he just said I am slowing down and that is to be expected at my age. Any suggestions?

yes with advancing age, very small blood vessels in our brain become hard and undergo blockage. this is called microangiopathy. if small in amount, it doesnt cause any significant disability, however, if extensive, it may cause stroke like symptoms.
