mri on 3rd dec 09
« on: December 05, 2009, 05:42:17 am »
hi all

went for my mri on the 3rd and I was so pleased to see the image on the screen when I came out, I went from a large tumor to this little tiny tumor.

My 3 month check is now on 25 jan 2010 which is a 5 month check lol), that is the soonest they can fit me in.

Denise ~

Let me hasten to add my congratulations on your rapidly shrinking AN!

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!

You are like me, I prefer to see the images myself.  I think it helps you relieve your mind a little as to what is going on in there.
