To Those who inquired:
I had my MRI this morning and although my neurosurgeon didn't have the lab report as yet, he looked at and measured the images and determined that there was some slight shrinkage (approximately 2 mm) and
definite necrosis (a large dark spot on the remaining tumor). He put me through the usual neurological exam and said I did
'splendidly'. He is very pleased with the outcome of my surgery and radiation. He said I may have annual MRI scans, now, as opposed to the semi-annual scans I had been getting. Obviously, this MRI report is
very good news. Doctor and patient (and patient's family) are all quite pleased.
Following the MRI/doctor visit, my wife and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary with a delicious seafood dinner at a restaurant on the Connecticut seashore. I'm blessed and life is good.
Thanks for the well-wishes, expressions of concern and general attention many gave to this event in my recovery. Your interest is appreciated and your concern, humbling. I'll try to live up to the kind words some have sent my way, as I labor to help others battling the physical and emotional demons associated with an Acoustic Neuroma. May God bless you all.
Jim
