Just returned from having my first MRI post GK.  Now I just have to be patient and wait for the results.  I sure hope it will be good news.

The results are in from my first MRI post GK in March.  It shows a slight increase in size but, this is due to swelling from GK and not actual tumor growth.  Good news.  Another MRI in 6 months.

I am so happy I chose GK over surgery.

Hi, Bonnie ~

Congratulations on your MRI report!  Post-radiation swelling is typical and should be gone by your next MRI.

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.
