Hello ANA Forum,
It has been a really really long time since I was last here. Thankfully - nothing new to report. I was diagnosed 6+ years with a small AN. I have had several MRIs but no change. I think my next MRI should be Sept 2015 (2 year gap). My hearing is a bit worse but that really only bothers my husband. I have had no episodes of dizziness or weird balance in a few years. I can't even remember the last time I had the 'fullness' - either it isn't happening or I am just not thinking about it as much.
I will stay in W&W (maybe I will beat Derek ... I started earlier at 37) for as long as I can. I know by research it could grow - I will re-examine my options if & when required. It is good to stay up-to-date with options. Hopefully, I won't have to complete any research for a really long time.
It is good to see many 'old' names still waiting - it gives me hope. (NO guarantee but hope.)
Will return to reading the posts.
Ann

Hi Ann .....
Good to hear from you again ..... and so glad you have nothing new to report. This news gives others the assurance to take their time in researching when they have a small AN like yours.
Keep an eye on the hearing loss and any new symptoms in case you want to move your scheduled MRI earlier and you should be good to go!
Congrats! Clarice

Great news Ann - glad you posted an update. Just one correction - you'll have to beat me before Derek!! LOL. I was diagnosed in October of 2001 and have been on W&W since.
Good luck,
Sheryl
