Follow up MRI today
« on: March 02, 2010, 10:07:44 am »
It has been 16 months since my surgery and 12 months since my last MRI.  This afternoon, I'm going for my 12 month follow up MRI. Wish me luck.
1 cm, 6mm, 4mm on Left side. Surgery performed 11/6/2008 by Dr. Kalmon Post and Eric Smouha at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC.
Normal hearing before, 85%-90% now, dizziness when walking or turning head, annoying hissing and high pitched tinnitus on and off, eyes have trouble adjusting to rapid head move

Just got my annual brain MRI results and everything was perfect.

I feel like someone just removed a thousand pounds from my back.

Wayne ~

Thanks for the update and of course, big-time congratulations on the good news!  :)  Now, go celebrate (in moderation, of course).

Jim

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.
