2 year MRI results
« on: June 03, 2010, 06:04:52 pm »
Had my 2 year MRI done. No new growth!!! I don't say it's clean because there is a 2mm mass present, which was there at the 1 year MRI and could be scar tissue or the tiny bit of tumor that was left behind during surgery. I was a bit nervous & am now glad it's over and done with.

Syl ~

Getting through the MRI (any year) and learning it shows no growth is a big relief.  Congratulations!

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.
