Title: ~1 year ANniversary Retrosigmoid Surgery
Post by: New girl on December 29, 2012, 03:26:19 pm

Just wanted to post that my ~1 year post retrosigmoid surgery assessment went well!  MRI shows no regrowth nor any new tumors.  I saw Barker a few weeks ago and he said everything looks great so my next MRI will be in 2 years.   I barely have any headaches (mild when I do have them - much improved from the major headaches pre surgery), no facial issues, and have 80% word recognition on my AN side.  I do have some minor balance issues but it does not stop me from any activities (have even gone on amusement park rides!).  I just wanted to post a positive outcome.  Also I want to thank everyone at the forum since this is the site where I found a lot of information to help make a treatment decision and lots of support!  Thanks!!
