Positive MRI Result @ 1 Year Post Op
« on: August 21, 2012, 07:11:04 pm »
Hello AN Forum Friends,

I am just elated to share the results of my first MRI since translab. surgery on Sept. 2, 2011 at the HEI to remove a 3+CM A.N. No regrowth, all is clear. Woo Hoo. I had to stop for ice cream and chocolate to celebrate. :D

Kathy ~

Alright!  Congratulations on your MRI report.  I bet the ice cream and chocolate were delicious!  :)

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.

Hmmm.  Ice cream and chocolate.  Sounds like my kind of celebration.

Great news on your MRI.  Definitely a wonderful reason to treat yourself!

Best,
