Title: Good news
Post by: Ellid on March 30, 2007, 05:17:17 am

I had my second MRI this month, and just learned that the AN has not grown since I was diagnosed last December.  I'm having another MRI in September, and if that one shows no growth, I'll only need to have a yearly MRI.

Thanks to everyone for their support.  I feel much, much more relaxed and confident now.  :D

Hi Lisa...

That is really excellent  news for you. I have just passed the 5 years marker as a 'wait and watcher' and have my annual MRI next month...hope yours continues in the same fashion.

Regards

Derek

I had my recent MRI this past Tuesday. There is a little (.5 by .3 centimeter) AN that was left in the bone within my brain. It has not grown any since November and my DR says I don't need to have another MRI until September. We will continue to watch it and if it starts to grow then will discuss our options. I feel fine with the exceptions of occasional head ache in the evening. I am just happy that my facial nerve looked intact on the MRI. I feel confident my facial paralysis will improve over the long haul. My double vision seems to be my biggest pain at this time but at least eye surgery should hopefully correct that sometime in the future.

God is good!   ;) ;)
