Tumbleweed's 8-year followup MRI
« on: July 05, 2016, 11:32:47 am »
Hi, everyone:

My latest MRI (8 years after CK for my AN) shows my AN continues to be stable, neither shrinking anymore or growing. Same for my untreated HN (hypoglossal neuroma). Dr. Chang says I don't need another MRI for 2 years (and then, I would guess, probably only because of my untreated HN).

Life is great!!

Best wishes to all,
TW
L. AN 18x12x9 mm @ diagnosis, 11/07
21x13x11 mm @ CK treatment 7/11/08 (Drs. Chang & Gibbs, Stanford)
21x15x13 mm in 12/08 (5 months post-CK), widespread necrosis, swelling
12x9x6 mm, Nov. 2017; shrank ~78% since treatment!
W&W on stable 6mm hypoglossal tumor found 12/08
