It's a brilliant article.  Thanks for posting it.  She has a great attitude which makes the article worth reading and the accurate medical information contained in the article is valuable as well.  This article should be sticky-ed in the WW or Pre-treatment or whatever section is most appropriate.

Diagnosed June 2014 1cm AN at 47 years of age.  Had fluctuating symptoms since 2006.    6 mos MRI (Dec 2014) showed no growth, MRI  in July 2015 showed no growth.  MRI Jan 2016 showed no growth.  MRI Aug 2016 showed no growth.  I'm gonna ride the WW train as long as I can.

I agree but watch and wait and  Hearing have been missing from my page on the Forum for years    I had no choice   But it is also appropriate for Post Treatment because she was eventually treated so illustrates her whole ride

Wish you hadn't.

Now you've got three identical posts that all appear at the top of the list when a member signs on to the site.

Sigh.

BANA?  British Acoustic Neuroma Association!  Much smaller than ANA with far-fewer members.  I encourage members there to join ANA as well because of its huge database of experiences.

thanks - This is my second year with ANA and thus far, seven years since my first symptoms, I reckon I'm doing pretty well.
