Title: One year post proton radiation MRI
Post by: lholl36233 on December 15, 2010, 05:01:07 pm

It was uneventful.  Dr. Loeffler said the tumor looks the same as it always did.  He was very happy about my hearing improvement but had no explanation for it.  The vibe I got was, "why ask why, just be happy" which I am.  He did say something interesting to his student to the effect of "Most of these tumors are on a nerve.  Radiation usually causes the hearing to get worse.  My tumor is a blood vesel on the temporal bone." 

As much as I love MGH, I'm very happy to not have to go back for 18 months.
