Hi everyone, I had my brain MRI on November 30th. Good news, no growth. My primary physician would like me to go make an appt
for a consult with J. Douglas Green who is a neurologist and also did a fellowship at House. He is pretty new to the area here in Jacksonville but I will get a consult when I can. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

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.

Hi everyone! I haven't been on in a long time and I used to be davjack but that login didn't work anymore, so new me.
Wow, I am so stoked about this whole minimum thing! Agnes...here is Dr. Jho's website: http://drjho.com/lumbar_stenosis_surgery.htm

He could fix my AN and my cervical stenosis (my newest ailment). One stop shopping! I'm in love  ;)

I'm in FL too but south. I think U. of Miami is doing minimally invasive surgery too, but their website is hard to understand. If there is someone good up in Jacksonville (I'm a transplanted north Floridian  ;) I would definitely consider going there. Right now I'm liking the idea of Dr. Jho

Still in watch and wait...still 1.5 cm... my next MRI is in March
