~1 year ANniversary Retrosigmoid Surgery
« on: December 29, 2012, 03:26:19 pm »
Just wanted to post that my ~1 year post retrosigmoid surgery assessment went well!  MRI shows no regrowth nor any new tumors.  I saw Barker a few weeks ago and he said everything looks great so my next MRI will be in 2 years.   I barely have any headaches (mild when I do have them - much improved from the major headaches pre surgery), no facial issues, and have 80% word recognition on my AN side.  I do have some minor balance issues but it does not stop me from any activities (have even gone on amusement park rides!).  I just wanted to post a positive outcome.  Also I want to thank everyone at the forum since this is the site where I found a lot of information to help make a treatment decision and lots of support!  Thanks!!

D ~

Thank you for posting your very encouraging one-year MRI results.  I'm delighted to learn how well you're doing and appreciate your kind words for the ANA discussion forums.

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.
