Answered prayers!!!!!
« on: June 15, 2009, 12:19:17 am »
Hi  to an my An'ers,

Friday I had my MRI/MRA, my 4th one since being diagnosed, over the past 2 and a half years with an acoustic neuroma, a small meningioma and an aneurysm, and all three are stable and show no change from last September. Whew!!! I feel I have been given a real gift, not to mention the relief! So I will continue to Watch and Wait and pray that maybe things will just remain stable! Thank-you all who have been praying and sending well wishes. May your rewards be many!!! Also Bless my ENT at Kaiser Permanente, Dr. Cave who emailed me my results on a Sunday night!!! He is such a jewel!!! I am so very Happy!!!

Jackie ~

I'm pleased to be able to share in your elation over the great results from your recent MRI scan.  Like everyone, I hope (and will pray for) the stability of your 3 invaders - in perpetuity.  :)

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.

Glad nothing's going on (whoops, that sounds like an insult to your brain!) ... glad there's no growth going on and that you're so encouraged! That's great!
Thanks for sharing.
