JW ~

I just have to add my congratulations for your MRI results indicating there is no evidence of a tumor.  This is fantastic news!  I hope the actual cause of your tinnitus can be found, and remedied, soon.   

Thanks for your kind words.  I'm pleased that you found the ANA support forums so helpful.  That is their purpose - and it's gratifying to see it being fulfilled.  :)

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.
