Title: Clean MRI - 3 yrs post-op!
Post by: jerseygirl on July 02, 2010, 11:20:37 am: Hello everybody,

This Sunday was 3 years post-op and today my MRI results are in - NO TUMOR, NO SCAR TISSUE!!! In other words, it is completely clean. I think I will be having the next one in another 2 years to mark my 5 year post-op anniversary. To say that this is great is an understatement. This AN tried to rule my life for 22 years and was initially life-threatening. I am still weary of saying "It is all over" but the results are incredibly encouraging and mean that I don't have to think about treatment or monitor its growth. I am so happy I am ready to cry.

This forum has been a lifesaver. I only wish it existed when I had my first AN surgery in 1988. Family and friends just do not understand all of our issues. Only people who had AN can. Thanks everybody who contributes and keeps this forum going!
