MRI Updatre
« on: April 18, 2015, 06:44:00 am »
;D Hi everyone--I wanted to share my news on my latest MRI--last one was 3 yrs ago--went into Boston last Wednesday, April 15--had MRI and saw Dr Loeffler--he was happy to tell me everything looks good-- ;D I had to see the scan--he showed me the 2012 scan and new one and pointed out that they are exactly the same.. So I am relieved..Next MRI another 3 yrs, altho he said it is unlikely that there will be any re-growth. But he was not certain the 2018 would be the last one :)

So life goes happily on now..Plan to do some sprucing up inside my condo.. Family's all well..Grandson 5 and other will be 7 in May..  :-*

Miss the Maxwell Silverman's brunches..can we get those going again?  ???

My best to all,

Mary/AKAGrammy Mary

:D   Thanks Clarice--I give you much credit to go thru surgery twice... My post-op/recovery was pretty uneventful..but took me 3 1/2 months to feel well/energetic enough to return to work at that time..and I was only 51..so I decided I didn't want to go thru surgery again when MRI showed re-growth in 2007 and I opted for radiation. So far so good.  ;D

Happy Spring to you and yours!!

Hi AN guy--yes I would recommend WW--in my case if I had gone that course I still would have needed surgery/treatment as my AN just wanted to grow! LOL!

Best wishes to you!   :D
