General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question and I will try my best to give you a satisfactory answer.

There is no mention of tumor in this CT scan report. However there is residual brain damage from previous brain bleed described as encephalomalacia.

Cases like your friends can recover significantly but the recovery time varies from patient to patient.

I would recommend your friend consult her local physician for detailed clinical evaluation in co-relation to the report and for further treatment course accordingly.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
