Hi All,
I talked to Carol Ann yesterday and she sounds good. She is very tired and sleeping a lot. I seem to have the opposite problem, I'm tired but can't sleep
. I told her that Dr. Katusha talked to me about her at my visit and how rare Facial Neuroms are, he said his facial monitor started beeping right away. He was very proud that he left as little of the tumor and preserved the facial nerve. He talked as though the Gamma Knife was certainly down the road but that the remainder of the tumor could be easily zapped. He also told me that he left 3mm behind on my facial nerve which surprised me, my family was told right after surgery that they had gotten it all. I can only hope that it has no blood supply and it dies, in fact that is going to be the case
. I am moving on with my life, I have been though enough!
I do understand Carol Ann, she is much younger than I am but I know as soon as she is strong again she will deal with this and all will be well. We both thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. The support here has been awesome.
Sue
