Title: 3 yr follow-up appt, all clear
Post by: Pembo on May 29, 2007, 01:57:39 pm
I had no idea how stressed I've been about this MRI and appt until after I heard the doctor say, Good News!  He told me everything looks great and no regrowth. I also got a referral to a contact lens specialist.(who knew there was such a thing).  I told him I have a nice eye dr but I want a second opinion and would love to be back in my contacts. He also said he would not suggest a gold weight at all for me.

And the doc told us that he is a co-editor for a new book called Surgery of the Cerebellopontine Angle and that a picture of my AN will be used in the book. DH asked about our royalty fees! lol The doc said he could probably get us a copy of the book.

YEAH PEMBO!!!  What great & welcome news after what you went through to get that MRI.

Time to celebrate, and good luck with the eye dr.

Pembo:

Congratulations!   

Nothing like a 'clean' MRI report to make your day, week and even your month.  :)

I hope you can finally get back into contact lenses, as you wish.  The prospects sound promising. 

I like the 'royalty' comment regarding your doctor's new book, using your MRI.  Good one.  :)

Meanwhile, thanks for sharing your good news.  I think we all can feel a bit better just by our association with a successful AN patient.  I do.

Jim
