Well, I got to meet with the doctor today and he said that my MRI has show from a year ago, the AN went down from 17 mm to 14 mm. :) I don't need to see him again until next July when I get my yearly MRI. Hope news is even better.
He said I would also ned a hearing exam to check the status of that but dont need a hearing aid as of yet. Hearing is still good but I can notice a difference.
The only problem I have had is headache, but thats not on my AN side. Has anyone had similiar experience? Its usually sharp pain in temple area and sometimes behind the eye.

Back down to 14mm? Ooh, that's good. 8)
Even better that you don't need a hearing aid so far.
Like you, I hope next year's result is even better.

DR. said it was 17mm at time of radiation and its down to 14. Good I guess. He said 1 other of his person is at her 5 year mark and hers is down from 14mm to 8 mm. good sign.

Congratulations on your positive MRI! Tumor shrinkage is the goal and you're obviously achieving it. You don't have SSD, either? Very good news - and may it continue in the months and years ahead. :)

Congrats on the positive results of the MRI. I have my 1 year MRI in April/May (that seems so far away!). They think they got all of it, but I won't know for sure until MUCH later with the MRI. Congrats on the shrinkage and lack of hearing loss!

excellent news! Thanks for sharing it.
I wish I had some input on your headache issue, but I don't. I'm hoping someone else will.
