hello everyone! i just wanted to let you all know the good news...i am soooo relieved. i went for my post gamma knife mri and appt. at penn today. it looks like the tumor is the same size it was in november.i also have a meningioma that has been growing but that also looked about the same this time. i was very anxious about my results because i've been having some wonky headedness and a few vertigo episodes.i had my gk in feb. 2008. the tumor actually is bigger than when all this started but i'm hoping it will hold steady or shrink. i don't know if that's possible this far out but i always have hope. my hearing has declined slightly each time i've gone for my checkups. i almost have to laugh while taking the audiology test...the audiologist must get some kind of entertainment when i'm trying to guess those words!!!
i seem to go through periods of time where i feel normal and then i'll have a whole week of that "off" feeling and so on. is this par for the course?
well, at least i got my get out of jail free card today. i feel like i live in 6 month increments. i know i shouldn't but it's hard to plan ahead further than that.my doctor actually said i could wait a yr. for the next mri- this is very encouraging- call me a glutton for punishment-i told him i'd feel better doing a 6 mth. follow-up.
ok.. i'm rambling on now. just wanted to post the latest in my journey. thank you all for being there-can't imagine not having you
