Sorry it took so long to post. Had my follow up, Dr said the AN has shrunk from 15mm to 13mm. Im schedule to get another MRI next July and he expects it to continue to shrink  ;D.

Have an appt with a ENT for a hearing eval, hearing is down but stable. I have an occasion ringing, distortion and some balance issues but very little. Headache seems to be my problem and its on the opposite side of the AN. Is that normal or is it something else.


Thanks  Patch

Patch ~

Thanks for sharing your good news - and congratulations on a shrinking AN!

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
