Hello, friends and fellow victims.

Did you miss me? Guess not.  ;D

Well, I'm 78 1/2 years old now. A little more wobbly than I was a few years ago. Have to be careful where and how I walk.

I had discontinued MRIs for several years. Had to have one a year or so ago for a vision issue (unrelated - opposite side).

Negative for the vision issue but easily spotted my intruder - never flitting, always sitting, defiantly in my IAC. to be lifted - nevermore.

How have the rest of you folks been doing?
3/15/18 12mm x 6mm x5mm
9/21/16 12mm x 7mm x 5mm
3/23/15 12mm x 5.5mm x 4mm
3/13/14 12mm x 6mm x 4mm
8/1/13 14mm x 5mm x 4mm (Expected)
1/22/13 12mm x 3mm (Gamma Knife)
10/10/12 11mm x 4mm x 5mm
4/4/12 9mm x 4mm x 3mm (Diagnosis)

Hi there! This is interesting!

 I love hearing from long term members-its really reassuring for the rest of us! I am only 6 years out- doing ok after CK but I still get nerve pain (that side eye and ear and deep in head if I lie down)

Did your last MRI reveal any shrinking? It looks like its been stable for a few years now.
