Default Dawson's Fingers on MRI

My 17 year old daughter recently had an MRI for a possible pituitary tumor. No tumor but a white focal area seen along the DAWSON'S FINGERS. I looked up Dawson's Fingers and found that basically that when Dawson's Fingers is seen on an MRI that a diagnosis of MS is not far behind. She has no outward symptoms other than her toes going numb and tingling twice in a few months, headaches and chronic fatigue. We saw a neurologist today and was told to since there was no outward symptoms to basically forget about it and come back in a year. I dont feel comfortable with this, i don't want her to progress without any treatment.
Please give me any sugesstions or thoughts you have on this. MS was really the last thing I would have ever thought since she has no syptoms. She did have two MRI's back in 2003 and 2004 because she had really bad migraines and there was a white focal spots but no Dawson's Fingers were seen.
Again any suggestions or thoughts would be great. Thanks
