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....

Suzanne,

Oh, this is FAB news!!!!!!!!! Congrats and please keep us updated. As you know, I'm on your heels (sorry for the shoe pun!) in treatment and am following your progress for my upcoming CK.

Shoe/wardrobe shopping? Girl, you earned it! :)
