Treatment Anniversary

[lholl36233]

Does everyone tend to remember the date their radiation started or surgery date years later?  Today is the anniversay of when my Proton Radiation started.  Whenever this days rolls around for years to come, I'm probably always going to remember.

First and foremost.... Happy ANniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well done (in ALL aspects! )

Absolutely, first week of April, 2006.  That year, "Good Friday" was that Friday and man, was it absolutely a "Good" Friday as it was the last day of my CK treatment.

I always remember mine - and actually had a "lunch" when I hit the 10 year mark...realized yesterday that my 15 one is coming up on Dec. 12th.  Yep, I always remember it & fivers (for anything) are more of a big deal to me!

Way to go - 1 year!

Yup, always think about it ..... February 21st ..... kind of hard to forget it with yearly MRIs!   

Actually my husband remembers the original diagnosing MRI date, the date I was told, the date of my first neurosurgeon appointment, and the date of the surgery!     It all happened within a month so I was sort of numb and just saying "Yes, Dear ..... whatever, Dear."

Of course I remember, it was the day my life changed forever!  Actually today marks 2 years, I'm focusing on the positive today and I'm really thankful for how far I have come 

Congrats to you on your anniversary as well!

I do my own private celebrations of my anniversaries.      4 AN surgeries and I could bore you to death with details of all.   My first was 9 yrs ago on 11-01-01 so not long ago.                July 6th 2001 was my first MRI.           It is big deal when it changes your life forever but grateful I have done fairly well over time.                                  Cheryl R

Although I don't 'celebrate' my AN-related 'anniversaries', I do remember the date.  Even at my age, its such a major life event that it's hard to forget.  June 7, 2006.

My AN Cyberknife treatment anniversary was 10/21/10.  Had another MRI yesterday in Tampa.  Results: the blood supply to the tumor is dwindling, noticeably "black" in the center.  No noticeable change in size at this time.  Although the symptoms I experience will not diminish, according to the doctor (i.e. hearing loss, balance issues, and nerve damage to trigeminal) the little "bugger" isn't growing...it's being strangled!  So I praise the Lord for this great news!  The treatment WORKED!

My initials are BP. And the day that BP capped that well. Is the same day I was told. "Hey you got a big mass growing in your head and its messing you up."

I would have totally forgot about the date BP capped the well. But now I will remember I guess.

A major life event is hard to forget. My surgery date is up there on the list

Graduation from college,
Became a US citizen,
Purchased first home,
AN removed

The only actual date I remember is June 18, 2008, the date of my surgery. I don't think I'll ever forget this date, even years down the road.
