One Year Report
« on: November 21, 2011, 06:48:17 pm »
Just had my one year post cyberknife doctor appointment.  Lost a bit more hearing and my tinnitus is off the chart. Looked at the MRI and he said it "looks" like it shrunk a bit.  We all know when we are dealing in mm it is very hard to tell.  But there was some definite change in the color of the tumor which again lets one to think it is dying.  So I have graduated to the one year for MRI, so over all good report.

Tom ~

Even with the tinnitus and slight hearing loss, that seems to qualify as a good one year report.  Congratulations!  :)

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.
