I suppose since I am on my 3rd tumor that I can call mine the 3 Stooges!             I don't know which guy would be the best name for which tumor.   
Or I could go with Tom,d*** and Harry.     I could really get going with this.

Hi,

I named mine "Goldie" because Goldie Hawn was a dizzy dame in the old TV show Laugh-In. I am dizzy and SHE is causing it!  Plus our familly is into humor. At our worst times we find things to laugh about. Sometimes the humor is dark, slip stick, witty or sick, but we laugh. What a great medicine. I love this topic!

I wil be gone for 4 days starting tomorrow. I will miss all of you. But I will be enjoying nature and I am sure it will be good to have a lkittle Vaycay!

Best of health to all,

Mary
Diagnosed March 24, 2008, 1.1cm, right side, "Goldie" - small but mighty!! :-(
Hearing, lottsa balance problems and a few facial twitches before CK
CK June 2, 2008, BNI in PHX, Drs Daspit/Kresl, side effects,steroids helped. Getting "sea legs".
Apr 2012 - Still glad I chose CK

Good one David.

I guess now you could call it "Kenny" - as in... "they killed Kenny!!"  (South Park also)

I got a call from my doctor's  nurse saying there were some troubles with some sinuses on MRI
and he wanted me to see an ENT ...went to that appointment and sat innocently in the
little room looking at magazines expected some allergy meds or adenoid talk  or something
and the ENT popped in looking at report and said so you got a little brain tumor ...guess we
will be doing some cutting... was mad as h**l at nurse for not telling me truth which she said
was hard for her to do so she said something about sinuses...  >:(

I left Columbia and drove home in a fog ... but by the time I got home I had named the AN Bennie...
short for Benign...I know it is not  shorter ...just sounded better...

Got on phone to my regular doctor and told him off for not telling me himself and started making plans..
got a new ENT as first just wanted to dig in and after some research found that may not be necessary ...yet

Now let me tell you about kidney stones ... they have names like @#$%^&  and #$%@ ^%$& and
worse   ::)

3mm AN discovered Aug 2004
Translab July 2 ,2007
3.2cm x 2.75cm x 3.3cm @ time of surgery
