10 years yesterday
« on: June 11, 2010, 07:59:15 am »
Wow forgot all about it but 10 years yesterday I had a aggressive 14 mm AN removed, lost total hearing in left ear and 50% in the right but I kept my life. In early 2009 I got an Baha implant so I can hear good enough to manage now, all the credit goes to God and the Doctors at UAMS in Little Rock, top people!

David ~

Congratulations on your ten-year ANniversary!  It's great to read about those who've reached such a significant milestone in their post-AN life.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

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.

Congratulations, David!  ;D

Hope the BAHA is working out well for you.

Upgraded from the Divino to the BP100 myself a few months ago.

Life is good - for both of us!
