Latest Follow Up MRI
« on: April 17, 2014, 03:21:54 pm »
Received results of my third follow up MRI post CK last May:  1.5x1.9x1.1 cm.  My radiation oncologist and the report state it is stable.  My doctor said there is some sign of necrosis.  I am HAPPY!!

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.

Good news, my MRI last Tuesday showed stable size, too, for my residual tumor following surgery. We both came out well from our appointments. I go again in 18 months, Oct 2015, for the next follow up.
