I'm so happy you did not get the AN diagnosis.  You were so smart to get it ruled out right away.  Enjoyed reading your posts.

So I got my MRI results back and I feel very lucky that it is totally clean. The MRI results did show that I may be having some sinus issues possibly due to allergies so I got a steroidal nasal spray to try.

I'm so pleased to learn that you received a clean MRI report!  Congratulations - and thanks for your kind words.  :)

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.

I haven't checked the forum in a few days since we just got back from the hospital (Pam is doing well).

I was so glad to hear that your MRI came back clean! Congratulations!

As the others said, keep listening to your body and take of yourself.

All the best,
Bryan and Pam
