Residing UK. In 'watch & wait' since diagnosis in March 2002 with right side AN. Initially sized at 2.5cm and now self reduced to 1.3cm.
All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.

Wishing you the "until next year" you are "free to wait" message!  I know how much anxiety builds between the tube and the dr. report.  All the best!

So nice to have such a great bunch of people who support each other. I guess we are special, all being in a 1 in 100,000 category haha. There is also a ANANJ meeting coming up in Oct. if anybody is interested. I`ve been going since diognosed and found it to be very informative and friendly. (Get a good feeling inside!)  Thanks again,  Mickey
