One year anniversary
« on: July 27, 2013, 06:59:55 pm »
So July 24th was my one year anniversary for my AN surgery.  My MRI is scheduled for the 31st....a little anxious, but certain that the tumor is gone (fingers crossed).  Although I still have some balance issues, and have the occasional wonky day, I'm doing well.  Really doesn't seem like a year has gone by.  Would appreciate prayers that nothing bad shows up.  Working "The Secret" !!!
4mm AN diagnosed 8/2007.  Watch and wait for 5 years.  5/2012 grew to 7x4x4.
Mid Fossa 7/2012 at MD Anderson, Houston,Tx
SSD but still hoping it will return.

Congratulations on your successful recovery to date. We know that everyone is different in how recovery runs, but I improved for months past my first year.
Maybe the same will be true for you. Good luck with continued success in recovery and with your MRI.
