Title: SIX MONTH MRI
Post by: v357139 on June 22, 2014, 08:16:48 pm
I am happy to bring some more good news to the forum.  Just had my six month MRI and both doctors say it looks very good.  Either no tumor at all, or a very small remnant.  Next MRI in nine months.  I am particularly impressed with Dr Schwartz.  When I said I did not fully understand the first readout of the MRI, he sent me a detailed email along with pictures of my MRI where he marked the areas he was describing.  Really excellent for someone like me who needed a detailed explanation.

As far as recovery I am walking, biking, mowing the lawn, cleaned the gutters, moving big rocks, etc.  Doing great!!!  There are great doctors elsewhere, but I am still glad I traveled to House for my personal AN journey.  It is a great option.

Glad to hear the MRI looked good. I have my 6-month post-op MRI next week and am anxious to see what it will show.

I am very happy I can bring good news to the forum.  I was such a worrier.  There are so many good results happening.  For all those worriers like I was, focus on what you can control.  Pick doctors with a lot of experience and great track records.  Then you have given yourself a very good chance at a great result, and that's all anyone can ask.

If anyone out there is overly anxious and would like to hear my story, please feel free to PM me.  God Bless.
