My next MRI is in 3months. They did get the whole tumor..after having the surgery I dont have a option but get better and move on..Im glad I had the surgery,I take alot less ibuprofen and I am leading a normal life..my next step eventually is look into hearing devices.I know I am to young to go through life with only hearing out of 1 ear..lol..plus I am constantly on the go..any words to anyone on the hearing would greatly be appreciated..

Michelle:

I'm just so glad you're doing so well.  I love your energy!  But after talking to you I know you need it!

I'm going to catch-up even though I'm already behind, but watch your back!

Thanks for the inspiration.

Love,
Michelle
