Results for post 6 months MRI !
« on: November 17, 2009, 12:52:38 pm »
Im back from my neuro appt.
He told me my AN has not grown, it has in fact shrank a little ! Which is good cause up to now it was growing at least a few mms with each new MRI.
Also he said that there is signs of NECROSIS!!!!!
I was very happy to hear that.
He is pleased with the results and feel the treatment is doing what it should be at this point.
So now I go back in 6 months for the next follow up, that would be May.
Im soooooooooo happy! Hooray !
Thanks everyone for your responses and support

T,
  I would normally say something like, excellent news.  But that hardly seems to have the appropriate celebratory tone to it.  So, I'll paraphrase from a post from Capt. Deb.

"... Zap it, zap it,
Kill it dead!
Fry that  ...
...
right outta T's head!"

Regards,

Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.

Tatianne ~

Congratulations on the fabulous news! 

The famous American writer, Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) once wrote: "Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with".  Thanks for 'dividing your joy' with all of us.  :)

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.
