update on my Journey!
« on: July 26, 2012, 06:40:53 pm »
It was time for my 3 month MRI, and I called the Dr. office ... It took 2 weeks to get my appointment here in Anchorage (their fault (san diego) not mine. Basically ended up being a 4 mo. MRI.   Dr. Smith called and said everything was going exactly as he wanted it too. Sight swelling as expected.  Said center of tumor was starting to show signs that it will implode! Another MRI scheduled for the end of Nov. where he is hoping to see it shrinking!!!  I was so relieved to hear this...  Still wonky, but hoping it starts getting better soon.  Thanks everyone for sharing your stories.   Hugs!!

Hi, Nancy ~

Great MRI update.  I trust the next one (in November) will be good, too.  Thanks for sharing the positive news 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.
