mri tomorrow
« on: February 05, 2009, 11:14:57 am »
ok everybody i need your prayers.
i have an mri tomorrow to see if the meningioma is growing towards my brainstem,if so i'm facing another surgery,if not chances are i will not have to deal with it.
for those of you that dont know me ,back in 07 i had an A N that was 8 cm [lemon size] luckily all mri's have shown that one to be gone.
this forum has got me through some really bad times as i'm sure you all are familiar with. anyway i can really use some prayers and poz thoughts.

Satman:

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this potential problem after having endured the removal of an 8 cm AN.  My thoughts will be with you tomorrow (Friday) and I'll certainly pray for your situation.  Try to remain positive and know that many are with you in spirit and you aren't alone.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
