Lisa - How wonderful!!  Sorry we couldn't make the brunch today but at least the weather cleared up and was a beautiful fall New England day.

I am going on 8 years W&W with a 9th cranial nerve tumor (as opposed to the 8th - acoustic).  It was great reading what you found out at the symposium.  In the 8 years, my tumor has only grown 3 mm and that's debatable between machines, technicians, and when read by a "neuroradiologist" I was told the first one was actually a tad larger than the original reading.  Unfortunately my husband has been battling a meningioma (another benign brain tumor) that continues to regrow after two surgeries and one treatment with CK. 

Hope your W&W is a long time.

9th cranial nerve schwannoma - like an acoustic neuroma on another nerve. Have recently been told it could be acoustic neuroma. Only 7 mm of growth in 18 years. With no symptoms. Continuing W&W

Hi All,

Phyl,  Yes I will have another MRI next October of 2010 and if I have no growth, I can go two years.  I plan on keeping my fingers crossed for a whole year.

Kimbo,

Wow, great to hear from someone in Australia?  Best of luck to you too and your journey.
