Another "wait and see" but getting close to 2nd MRI

[melsbrock]

OK, 2nd MRI shows NO growth.  Jeepers what a relief.  The past six months have been super scary and I am thankful to all of you and this great forum - what a great place to go with people that understand this schwannoma drama.  My Dr. doesn't even want to get another MRI for a year (unless I get scared again - I told him that I have gained about 7 pounds with nervous eating and laughingly he said to call him before I reach for the pizza again!).  I still have the ringing and Austin has been super socked in lately so I have even more of a full head feeling but I will just be thankful and learn to love my "inner ring tone"! 

I will  stay close to this site and do what I can to offer the same warm support that I received - best wishes to all!!!

Thanks for the update - and congratulations on your 'no-growth' MRI report.  Watching-and-Waiting can be stressful, as you know, all too well, but if your doctor is confident in your MRI results, you have every reason to relax a bit and get on with your life, not allowing the 'what-ifs' to consume you.  Just stay away from the 'comfort food' and you'll be fine (and slimmer, too!).
