Any update, technigirl?

I'm curious what the MRI done three weeks ago showed or didn't show.

Radiation / Radiosurgery / Re: query re radiotherapy and thyroid
« Last post by mwatto on January 09, 2025, 06:39:28 pm »
Thanks Dan! Yes, I wasnt sure because in my case the thyroid thing (no medication) was caused by Covid two years ago.  I am doing great! Next MRI and audiology coming up- not my best haha but no complaints so far. I did get deep ear pain lately again- ongoing since diagnosis years ago - but discovered that just 1 mg diazepam at night totally stops all nerve pain. So does full spectrum CBD and the next day I feel wonderful. I dont need this often but it def is effective.

More importantly when did you start golfing again.  I had my CK Friday and teed off Tuesday, my first swing brought laughter to many.

What did you decide? How is your life these days? I hope things are going well for you. As for me, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself because, no matter how challenging life has been over the past couple of years, I still made the decision to go to college and pursue my education. It hasn’t been an easy road—balancing studies with personal responsibilities was tough at times—but I stayed committed and pushed through. Thanks to the support I received from https://academized.com/write-my-case-study, I’m on track to finally graduate this year. Their help has been invaluable in managing my coursework, allowing me to stay on top of deadlines without feeling completely overwhelmed. Looking back, I realize that the journey has been filled with ups and downs, but I truly believe that all the effort and sacrifices will pay off in the end

Michelle,  I am not quite the reader you are but I have come across nothing linking the two.  I have 15 months personal experience and 22 years watching my son. Nothing so far.  Good luck and I hope you feel better.

Inquiries / Re: Use of Diffusion Tensor Imaging pre surgery for AN
« Last post by soceciw on January 09, 2025, 03:26:17 am »
DTI can help surgeons visualize the facial nerve and other cranial nerves near the tumor by tracking the direction of water diffusion in the nerve fibers. This is critical for preserving facial nerve function during tumor resection. The technique allows for three-dimensional reconstruction of nerve pathways, which can highlight the relationship between the tumor and adjacent structures like the trigeminal and cochlear nerves.

Radiation / Radiosurgery / query re radiotherapy and thyroid

Hi all does anyone know (and I will be asking my specialist at my next appt) if Radiotherapy can affect the thyroid? Or cause dry mouth and eyes over time? I have subclinical hypothyroidism now and yesterday my optometrist mentioned that radiation had affected his wife's thyroid.

Matt3m, I am sorry you are here but welcome.  You will find  this group is a great resource.  Let us know how the MRI goes.  I was just about a year younger then you when I found my VS. I went with radiation but this group provided great insight in the decision process. Good luck on your journey.
