When did you have your first post MRI??

[Adrienne]

Although they believe my AN was completely removed on May 26th of this year, my first follow up MRI was on Oct. 2nd.  I find out on Monday what they saw in there.  I anticipate that *if* there ever was a day I would find out there was something there still growing, it would be in a future (1 year? 2 years?) MRI.  Having said that, I'm still glad they did one right away.  Hope you get this sorted out soon so you can put it to rest once and for all!

Julie,

I just thought I'd throw my two cents worth of advice in.   Do ask your ENT to order an MRI.    My doc also said he removed the whole tumor, but as Jan pointed out, even one cell left behind can regrow, however small the chances for regrowth are (1 - 2%).  As the others have said -- followup is  important, even if it's only for your peace of mind -- which you are entitled to by the way, in my opinion.
