Good news!!!!!!!
« on: April 06, 2011, 08:21:44 pm »
MRI time today and clean MRI with NO new tumor!      Best thing that can happen for a NF2er!          Asked what my chances  are of maybe getting one and dr can not say.       I did ask about how many mid fossa he does and is over 30 a year and said it is more than Mayo does.        Now up to 70 ANs a year.       I will repeat this tomorrow when get home and my computer and not hotels.             Any way a very happy night for me!

Cheryl ~

Late to the celebration but none the less pleased to offer my congratulations! 

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.
