Third MRI today
« on: September 11, 2015, 06:58:01 pm »
Today I had my third MRI (four months from last one).  My doctor said it showed a small bit of growth, but I could still continue with watch and wait for the next six months.  I was very happy about
that, as in May he had told me I would probably have to think about some sort of treatment if
it grew any.  Thanks to all of you here on this forum, I have been able to research many facets of our
common condition, have obtained other opinions from doctors I discovered would provide free
consults, and have felt that I'm sharing in the journeys of my friends as I read your posts each evening.  Thank you all for helping to make this uncommon condition less intimidating.  God Bless
each of you.

I've been on W&W for 14 years with a little bit of growth here and there.  What's important is that I am asymptomatic.  I still have MRI's every year but finally asked the doctor last year if I could go longer and he said I could try a year and a half.

Good luck,
Sheryl
