Title: Yearly MRI
Post by: Mickey on August 03, 2010, 08:54:23 am

Hi my fellow Wait + Watchers and ANers! In 2 weeks I`ll be going for my 3rd yearly MRI (5th one total). I`m feeling optomistic hoping that I have stayed "stable". The only real symptom thats with me is Tinnitus which has been with me for many years. Whatever other symptoms I did have deminished such as migranes. I`m hoping to keep Wait + Watching alive with a healthy approach. I guess the proof will be in the puddin! Hoping for the best- Best wishes, Mickey

Hi, Mickey ~

First, thanks for your contributions to the forums.  I also want to add my hope that you receive an MRI report that sees your AN as remaining stable.

Hope everything goes well and you have no growth or minimal growth shown on your MRI.  Good luck to you.
Stay positive, it will help you to get through the next couple weeks before your MRI.

Hi Mickey,

Just wanted to add that I was read by a medium (I did if for ha ha's) anyways, she stated that my tumor will show no growth.  Now I did not tell her I had one and that it was on my right side.  Sooo wouldn't it be great if she is right when I go in October???

Thanks for all the support! Tommorrow is my MRI date. I`m getting the little dose of xanax ready. I also use the open MRI machine. With this combonation it seems to make the MRI much more tolerable. I have my Dr. appointments on Fri. Audiologist then ENT Surgery and Gamma knife specialist. We go over whatever necessary and come up with a game plan. Hoping for the best and also hoping for the best for my AN friends....Mickey

Hello! Recenly back from my Audio + ENT consults. Everything is "stable" with no change since officially finding out about this AN over 3 years now. My Dr. also said he feels confident in a 2 year MRI and of course if there is any syptomatic problems that would change. Life is basicially the same as I`ve known it for many years with tinnitus being my only real symptom. Even the slight hearing loss on AN side is really hard to tell. Migranes which I`ve have had in the past are at a bare minimum over the last years. I`m happy for this good news and will keep the healthy lifestyle in high gear. Thanks to all my AN friends!  Best wishes, Mickey

Mickey ~

My heartfelt congratulations on a 'stable' MRI report!  A two-year MRI schedule is also very welcome, I'm sure.  Lots of folks you've never met are smiling for you, today.  :)

Wishing you the "until next year" you are "free to wait" message!  I know how much anxiety builds between the tube and the dr. report.  All the best!

So nice to have such a great bunch of people who support each other. I guess we are special, all being in a 1 in 100,000 category haha. There is also a ANANJ meeting coming up in Oct. if anybody is interested. I`ve been going since diognosed and found it to be very informative and friendly. (Get a good feeling inside!)  Thanks again,  Mickey
