Title: No growth and still W&W
Post by: AIteach on August 07, 2010, 10:31:44 pm
I had my 2nd MRI at 6mos from diagnosis.  I am happy to say the tumor has not grown and my doctor said we can wait 1 year to schedule another MRI provided I remain relatively asymptomatic.  That was very good news to me.  I am hoping I can remain on W&W as long as possible.   ;D

Great news!  Thanks for sharing it with us.  I also hope that you can remain a 'watch-and-waiter' for many years to come.  :)

That is good news.  I don't know who holds the record for being on "wait and watch"?  Last month I met a man at our AN support meeting that has been 20 years!  Hope we both can do that.

Good luck

Lauren Unfortunately they don't have the smiley for two faces toasting their beer mugs so this will have to do.  I am happy to be in the W+W club with you.

It`s nice to hear good news! Going to yearly MRI`s I would say is the next positive progression in W+W. Happy to be part of our AN club. Best wishes, Mickey
