Nervous for 2 1/2 year MRI post surgery
« on: December 01, 2012, 11:00:27 pm »
I know I haven't been on here for awhile now.  I go in Tuesday for my 2 1/2 year follow up MRI.  The last one I had last December the doctor thought the piece they left had grown.  After having the MRI over read, it was stable.  I guess I'm just scared that the little piece they left to prevent facial damage will have grown over the years.
Wish me luck that this isn't the case, I do not want to have gamma knife, surgery was bad enough the first time around.
To everyone out there, I will try to stay in touch and help others out on here as you all did for me when I first started out in 2009.  This forum was a lifesaver :)
God bless.

Hi Susan - Good luck!  I just had my 1 year MRI and that was stressful enough so I feel for you.  Sending wishes for a stable MRI!!  :)

Hi, Susan ~

Your pre-MRI apprehension is perfectly normal (but probably unnecessary).  Wishing you a 'clean' MRI result on Tuesday!!

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.

Thank you both, I am hoping it will be clean.  I just hate having the MRI altogether.  You would think I would be used to them by now.
