GK Treatment - Dr Jason Sheehan at UVA - Nov 2018 for 14mm AN
kestes:
5 month update – just had my followup mri, AN showed slight increase and also showed some necrosis in tumor. All of this seems normal for the course of a recently radiated tumor. My doctor will see me in 6 months and expects the tumor to shrink over time. I have begun experiencing some slight vertigo episodes, lasting maybe a minute or so. I am trying to learn what triggers them and then don’t do that particular thing. For instance walking up stairs I get woozy, but walking downstairs I am ok – so I take the elevator instead. When I run, I have to look straight ahead – but I still run 2 miles a few times a week. I have taken a round of tapered steroids but that made me feel worse, so I will keep exercising and adjusting to what I need to adjust to. Fatigue is a factor, but I had fatigue before GK and is about the same. Tinnitus before GK and about the same now as well. Hearing seems to have decreased but not sure how much. I can still talk on cell phone but things are kind of static. Otherwise I feel good, no headaches or facial spasms at this point and will continue living and enjoying life!
