1 year MRI scheduled
« on: December 20, 2010, 05:21:42 pm »
I meant to post this a few weeks ago, but with the holidays in full swing I forgot.  My one year post-op MRI is scheduled for tomorrow morning (Tuesday, Dec 21).  My only concern is a sudden case of vertigo mid-scan.  I guess I will tell the tech to watch my feet and, if it appears I am rehearsing for the Rockettes Holiday Spectacular, get me out of the tube ASAP!

Dennis ~

The first-year MRI is always a bit scary but I'm sure you'll come through with 'flying colors'.  Good luck and please let us know the results when you do.  Thanks.

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.
