MS not curable: I think you should clarify the radiology report. They said that she definitely had ms plaques or demyelinating plaques or did they report something less committed such as "white matter changes placing a demyelinating disease (such as ms) if clinically appropriate? Ms is not curable but many drugs available can help maintain herself these days. All the best!

Current state: Am concerned that she may well have MS, and if so, needs immediate initiation of a disease modifying agent. MS is not curable but is definitely controllable in most cases if potent medication and treatment is used. Delays can result in unsatisfactory outcomes.
