I have been on this web site for the last year and a half but have only posted a few times. However, I have read and read and felt very grateful to hear all the stories about other AN journeys. I had another MRI in August and it did show some growth so after much thought, I decided to go ahead with surgery and get this thing over with. I don't know how the long term WW do it! I couldn't any longer. Anyway, I am scheduled for surgery Nov. 2 at Duke Raleigh Hosp. with Dr. Cunningham and Dr. Fukishima. I feel very blessed to be in such good hands. I had my pre op today and was a little freaked out reading about complications but I know they have to tell you all these things. My hearing is still there so they are doing retrosigmoid surgery.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers and thanks for all the "virtual" support this last year and a half.
