Reg ~

Congratulations on the insurance approval for your BAHA.  I can't speak from experience (others can - and will) but very few BAHA users seem to be dissatisfied, although some initial adjustments may be necessary.  I'm confident that you'll be pleased when you get your BAHA and look forward to reading your reactions to having it.

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.

Reg -

I hope you love your BAHA as much as I love mine  ;D

My implant was done in March 2008 and I've never regretted it.

Best,

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Love mine! There are some good videos on you-tube. This is a very simple surgery.
