6 Year Anniversary
« on: December 09, 2019, 08:13:08 pm »
Passed my 6 year Translab anniversary this past Nov 20.  Also had MRI this summer showing no regrowth.  I worried way to much about this while trying to pick a doctor.  Drove myself and a few doctors crazy.  But it also caused me to really research, and that resulted in a great choice at the House Clinic.  Looking back, I am very happy with the choice.  It really worked out well for me.  Many thanks always to the great Dr Slattery and Dr Schwartz!!!!!!!!!!!!  For anyone looking, they are both great choices.

The lesson I feel today is to be thorough and do your homework.  And once you feel in your gut what you want, don't let anyone stop you.

All best,

Vestibular Schwannoma 1.2 cm. Right side.
Middle fossa surgery at University of Iowa on May 9 2016.
Hearing saved.  Face is fine. Balance pretty darn good most days.
One year follow up MRI showed no tumor. 
Five year follow up showed no tumor, so I'm in the clear.

Great news, Dr. Schwartz is genius. I feel good to choose him and Dr. Fredman.
