That was not a no-no, that was a yipeee!  Good for you.  Can't wait to see what your DR's say.  I am sure you are reading the right.  I also get my MRI & report ASAP (usually before the Doctors!)

Happy Trails,

The doctors know we look at these things!  How could you not look?  It's your head!

Anyway, happy for the darkening of the "blob" and I am confident your doctor will second your opinion!   ;D

Looks like I'm not the only halo-dropper around here though!  Tsk, tsk....

Hey you  ;D  We are two peas in a pod - I always "peek" or get info ahead of time!!  Glad to hear good news so far.  We are going strong in 2010 with much better medical info so far (sent you a PM via e-mail).  Busy watching the Massachusetts Senate race from Florida - it's proving verrrrrrrry interesting.

Great news! It so nice to see positive outcomes from the course of actions we take. Very inspirational to see how all the treatments can have a good result to our AN problems. Here`s one for cyberknife and the terrific person who made that decision, Phyl! Best wishes, Mickey

Hey Seal! Long time no see! :)  Century Ride?  Um......  will let ya know! :D


UPDATE:

Got the written MRI report... and to sum it up....

"... there is no significant interval change to the previously identified (doh!) 8mm (TV) x 7mm (AP) x 4.5mm (SI) homogeneously enhancing lesion along the medial aspect of a mildly expanded left internal acoustic canal, consistent with the patients's known acoustic neuroma..."


... and the docs STILL haven't seen the films or report yet! :)

Phyl,
Based on your extensive research an personal experience, my money would always be on you on the subject of acoustic neuromas.  

I am very happy for you and will wait patiently (not really patiently) for the official announcement.

Take care,
Theresa
