Monitoring AN tumor size
« on: November 30, 2010, 06:19:11 pm »
Last year my tumor was 19X18X16 and now it's, 17X13X11 and still significantly shrinking.  That is the best Christmas gift I could hope for.  I wish you the same.

From the 3 page MRI report:

There is minimal fluid within the left mastoid air cells cysts which is nonspecific.

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.
