On the way to the Symposium
« on: August 12, 2009, 09:24:08 pm »
We are in Dalton Ga right now on our way to Chicago.  Anyone else in the area on the way?  And has anyone ever heard of enhanced scar tissue?  I had my first year postop MRI and they think it is probably enhanced scar tissue.  Its very small and my doc said next years mri will show more.  He showed me the one with the tumor and the one with the enhanced scar tissue and they both look the same to me except this is smaller.  I didnt like the word probably plus I had a 1 cm. thalmus infarct on the first one that wasnt mentioned with the second one and a bunch of tias that wern't mentioned with the second one either.  He mentioned that was strange too as they dont dissapear.

 Thanks Pyll and K, hope you have a good flight.  Thats the way I would have preferred to come but cant get my husband on a plane.
