Gamma Knife MRI update
« on: February 01, 2011, 08:44:50 pm »

   Hello everyone,     It seems that there are a lot of  MRI  updates lately so I'll add mine to the mix.   I had my one year follow up MRI yesterday.  I think I
was supposed to have one at six months.  I wasn't having any symptomatic problems so I blew it off.   Anyway here are the results.
    MRI - one year out.   Gamma Knife on 2/10/10   UPMC.  Size  was the same as before treatment minus 1 mm  all the way around,  so I consider it the same.
They gave me the disk on the way out so I of course looked at it and compared with my previous MRI's from before treatment.  Looks to me like about 25%
darkening (my opinion).   So,   off the disk and report go and we'll see what the Neurosurgeon thinks.   Me thinks I'm good for another year!   Bryan.

Bryan ~

Congratulations!  I'm sure the neurosurgeon will have positive news for you.

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.
