too early to celebrate but....
« on: February 09, 2007, 01:48:32 pm »
Round 1

Today, I am Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, for my follow up on my hearing test and meeting with my brain-surgeon-on-hold-just-in-case, Dr. Peter Black's team (I'm actually in his reception area now.. how kewl is that for him to offer me access to you all?)

Well, just had my hearing test done.  Gawd Bless Cyberknife!  My hearing is BACK to hearing pre-CK! :)  OMG!    Hearing test was done pre-treatment, then 4 mos post treat, now 6 mos later.  4 mos test showed post-treat swelling... now 10 mos post-treat and my hearing is back to same as pre-treat!  Tears.... omg, tears!

Round 2
Monday... have MRI and meeting with the whole CK team!  I better get good news on Monday.  I think we all could use it around here!

TGIF to you all...

Gosh we have so much fun in our cyber world!  I miss our voyages.  Right now is a sad time in our AN community, so maybe in a few months it will be better for everyone.
