Shrinkage!
« on: September 13, 2013, 06:44:06 pm »
Turns out Friday the 13th is lucky for me  ;D

I saw my neurosurgeon today almost 5 months after my Trilogy SRS treatment for my AN. Last week's MRI shows tumor necrosis at the center and slight shrinkage!! Next MRI in 6 months.

Yeah me. I needed this news.

Congratulations.

ANs are one of those things where size does count.

And the smaller the better.

Wonderful news!! Who would have thought "necrosis and shrinkage" used in the same sentence could make one smile.  Glad to hear you are doing well.
