Great news, Jo!  So, enjoy your Spring!  Are you going to St. Augustine this year?  Or are you already down there?  Was there a couple of months ago and thought of our visit at the mall prior to your surgery :)

Jo ~

'No growth' are two of the sweetest words a person diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma and in 'watch-and-wait' mode (observation) can ever hear.  Congratulations!

Oh Jo .....

So glad your recurring tumor is holding.  Unbeknownst to me (they kept calling it "probable scar tissue" of unknown size to me), mine was apparently holding at 1.0 cm until my most recent MRI, when it had grown 3 mm from the previous MRI a year earlier.

I hope and pray yours holds forever at its current size ..... and remember, most do!!
