10 year CK results
« on: December 09, 2011, 09:01:54 pm »
Hi All,

Used to be an active poster, an while I've stayed active in the ANA support group and WTT program, haven't dropped in here for a while

Just thought I would post that I recently had my 10 year MRI check up with Dr. Chang at Stanford where I was treated for a 2 cm AN in 2001. In short all aspects of a very successful treatment have continued

AN is dead and has actually reduced to closer to 1.5 cm
No facial or balance issues
Hearing SRT remains unchanged although I've had small decrease in high frequency scores in the last couple of years

Best to all

Mark

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.

Mark -

10 years is a huge milestone.  Congratulations!

I'm so glad you had such a great outcome.  I continue to hear nothing but the best about Dr. Chang.

Thanks for all you've shared on the Forum over the years.

Best,

Jan
