Still lucky in Watch and Wait!
« on: July 23, 2012, 10:11:45 am »
I was having headaches and getting an uh oh feeling so I got scanned.  No growth and the headaches were from eyestrain which I had already fixed with new glasses by the time I had the MRI. :)

Caroline - good luck with the continued W&W.  This November will be year #11 for me with very minimal growth and no symptoms that I know of.

Caroline ~

Thanks for the good news about your AN remaining stable.  May it stay that way.  :)

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.
