Met with Dr. Mason today to get the results of my MRI.

After 5 years now I have no growth and my hearing is still 100%.  I can now go another 2 years until my next MRI.  I am relieved but I have been experiencing dry mouth since January so he sent me for blood work to see what is going on with that.

thanks for all of the well wishes as I continue on with this journey and continue to manage my symptoms.

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.

Residing UK. In 'watch & wait' since diagnosis in March 2002 with right side AN. Initially sized at 2.5cm and now self reduced to 1.3cm.
All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.

Great news Lisa! As far as other symptoms many can be caused by unrelated things.  I`ve had a few and just take em on as they come...  Best wishes, Mickey P.S. long live the W+W brigade!

That's great news Lisa! Lucky you - no growth and 100% hearing!! I've had a small amount of growth and steady hearing loss - down to 52% word recognition in my AN ear now :-(

2011 8 x 7 mm AN, & 20 x 22 mm M found, both on the left. Mosaic NF2 diagnosed. Some hearing loss
2014 hearing 30% on left, now using hearing aid (HA)
2015 Now have CROS HA - no longer hear enough for HA to be useful in AN ear
2016 Use an FM system on occasion at work to supplement HA

Thanks Susan for responding.  I still can't believe that I am going to W&W for another 2 years and I have 100% of my hearing.  90% of people with ANA's usually have some kind of hearing loss,  I guess I fall in the 10%.  That is why I decided to continue to W&W due to I still have my hearing.     ;D
