I am keeping my fingers crossed.  Here's hoping that your symptoms are just swelling caused by the dying tumor.

Good luck, Sher.

I don't know a whole lot about side-effects of radiation, but I remember my doc said that sometimes they take 12 to 18 months to appear.

Hopefully that's all you're experiencing and they will be short lived.

Please keep us updated.

Best,

Sher ~

You have my wishes and prayers for a 'positive' (no growth) MRI report!

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.
