Title: 8 Month MRI Shows Growth...
Post by: Jwh on July 08, 2008, 05:51:49 am

Well went yesterday for my MRI on my regrowth after having Retro surgery in 2001.  I found out in 2007 that in fact I had a regrowth now I've been waiting and watching.  Doc said yesterday it's time to do something about it once again as my MRI has shown growth. My tumor is now approx. 1 cm and kissing the brain.

 I'll probably go in for Translab at NYU in October.  I can't believe I have to do this once again.  Wishing there was a magic pill to get rid of this thing once and for all!

Thanks for listening.
Jen

Very sorry to hear this. I do know that you will  be in the best hands at NYU. I`m facing watching and wait knowing that someday I may be doing the same. I also feel very confident of my Dr.s at NYU if that time comes. Wishing you the best! God Bless, Mickey

Hi, Mickey:

We all know that re-growth is the AN patient's nightmare and I'm so sorry to learn of yours.  You seem to have the situation under control and are in good hands.  I wish you total success and the absolute end of any possible re-growth.  Keep us informed and place your surgery date on our Treatment Calendar'  http://my.calendars.net/AN_Treatments (http://my.calendars.net/AN_Treatments) when you have it or PM me and I'll be happy to do it for you.  :)
