Necrosis is the nicest word we ever want to hear,
That is for those of us that have an AN in their ear,
But it's been nuked and this is our AN battle cry,

thank you all for your very sweet thoughts and wishes.....

well, growth is stable in size... still +/- 2mm, around the same as last MRI (Nov 06).  Center seems a bit darker and based on what the Radio-Onc and Neuro-Onc noted, we are right on track. My Dr. M still isn't using the word necrosis (I still keep asking him) but the tumor is still showing as "rim enhanced".  So, we are on our way now that I am 10 mos out.

Have been having bad bouts with vertigo and the neuro-oncology tested me yesterday and am doing some movement/activity to try to counteract it, thus, my delay in responding.... ah, nothing like having the "spins" when you haven't been drinking. :)

thanks again all for thinking of me... truly  appreciated.
