good news
« on: January 27, 2010, 12:41:42 pm »
My 5 yr. post-op MRI was clear. Showed post-op changes, but no regrowth or new growth.  This was predicted by Dr. Brackmann at HEI. Anyway, hopefully no more MRI's in my lifetime.!!!

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.

Dr. Sam, that is TERRIFIC news! 

I am thrilled with your clean MRI and the prospect of no more trips to the "tube of gloom" for you  ;D

Any chance we'll all get to meet you at the 2011 ANA Symposium in Cincinnati?
