One year cyberknife update
« on: May 10, 2012, 06:30:28 am »
Good morning to all of you,

Yesterday I met with the neurosurgeon to go over the one year post cyberknife results. No change from September. The tumor is just an hallow and the middle is dark. Well almost no change since he said that the middle is liquefying ?!?! never heard of that before. It is hard to catch all the "nuance" in terminology since I'm French....but he had only good news to report. I have no other symptoms than hearing lost. My BAHA continue to be a great support. I will have MRI every six months for a couple of years.

So all is great and I hope to continue on this good path  ;D

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.
