IT SHRUNK!!! BOOGER SHRUNK!!!
« on: February 19, 2010, 11:21:28 am »
For those who have been following along..My first post op MRI(at six months out) Booger came in at 16mm X9mm....Operative report put it at 2cm and that the neurosurreon left two small strands.l...In my mind and my ENT concurred that two smnall strands and 16mm dont coincide...so ENT ordered another MRI (feb/10). I just got back from the visit..Booger is now in at 13mm X7mm...Both MRis done on same machine....given the 2mm margin for error, it still shrunk...I AM one happy camper.

Congratulations, Jo!  That's great news and especially after the confusion about possible growth that you went through.  I love these kinds of posts!   :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
