Title: 6 Month MRI results
Post by: Patch on January 24, 2008, 03:50:02 pm

         Well yesterday, I meet with the Dr. and he advised that there was alittle swelling after radiation but said that is normal. The an was smaller than originally advised of 1.5 cm, it was acually 14mm and swelled to 15mm. Dr. also advised that there was signs of darkening in the center and said it looks lke a DIRECT HIT  :D. HE wants another MRI in July to confirm and if all well, its once a year for a year for 4 years and if all is well, I would not have to see him anymore after that. So far so good.

Hey Mark:  you must be so happy with this news - YEA!!!  Direct hit sounds great... reminds me of the game 'battleship'   Time to celebrate!
Always good thoughts,  Nancy

our time frame slounds the same mark. i just had mine a couplre weeks ago, the 6th month after gamma. similar results as yours but from 1.5 the swellings at 1.7. they claim my hearing is similar but to me it seems a bit worse. good luck in the future.

I love to hear those phrases: "Darkening in the center." "Direct Hit." I still have two months to go to hear them myself.

Congratulations on a great progress report, I hope you get more of the same in July. Another AN meets its demise.
