Six month post op MRI report
« on: October 25, 2012, 11:06:23 pm »
Well, it's hard to believe that I'm coming up on my six month mark. I went in and had my six month MRI last week and there is no recurrence. I guess when they said that they removed 100% of the tumor, they meant it. My next MRI isn't for five years. It's going to feel nice to put this behind me with no more worrying.

Life is getting better. Feeling like myself again. No major complaints. Even the tinnitus seems to be settling down. That's huge :)

Just wanted to share some good news with all of you.

Dave ~

Congratulations on that excellent MRI report - and thanks for the positive update.  I trust you'll continue to improve.

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.

That is great news!!  Dr. Friedman wanted me to get my MRI follow-up in one year.  I wonder what determines if it's going to be six months or one year.  Hmmm... ???
