18 months post Cyberknife
« on: May 03, 2012, 12:09:41 pm »
…and all is as well as possible. I've now graduated to the once-per-year-in-the-tube schedule.

My alien shrunk a little bit in length from 25mm to 23mm. I'll have to fix that in the profile.

The Audiologist said my hearing hasn't changed since we attacked this thing. At first, that bummed me, then I realized that it also means it hasn't gotten any worse. I'm trying a meta-physical approach - "restore my hearing, restore my hearing…" maybe it's helping  ;)

Hi, Mark ~

Thanks for the positive update.  As for chanting "restore my hearing" as therapy, let us know if that works for you so we can all try it.  ;)

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.
