3 Month CK Followup
« on: March 15, 2006, 02:16:35 pm »
Hi All,

Just thought I share my results from my 3 month CK followup.  I saw Dr. Kresl today and got a good report.  He said the tumor looks excellent - it is stable - no growth. The tissues around the tumor are healthy which means they didn't get radiated.  I was happy hear that!  He said at the 1 year mark he likes to see some signs that the center of the tumor is dying.  Next MRI in 6 months.  Hearing and balance are great - same as before CK.   :)  So far so good!

Oh, and regarding my previous post about the headaches, dr. said just plain old migranes. 

Thanks for all the well wishes! Suzanne

Excellent news! I see Dr. Kresl again at the end of May, I'm hoping for some shrinkage since it's already necrotic....
