Follow Up MRI Tomorrow
« on: April 13, 2014, 07:03:49 pm »
Tomorrow morning I am scheduled for my third follow up MRI since CK last May and an appointment with my radiation oncologist Thursday afternoon.  There have been no real changes thus far so I'm hoping for status quo or signs of necrosis.   :D

You can bet I'll be loading up the CD as soon as I get home to look, but I'm never quite sure what I'm looking at.  To be continued...
3/25/13- dx 18x11x14 mm AN, hearing loss in right ear x 5+ years, 5 sessions of CK completed May 2013, now a "post toastie".  Follow up MRI 4/14/14 - 15x19x11 mm. Stable with some signs of necrosis.
 Yippee!

Good luck with the MRI. My 2nd follow up MRI since surgery in Oct 2011 is Tusday the 15th. I have 2 tumor remnants to check for regrowth, one on my facial nerve near the IAC and another sliver along my brain stem. The operative report stated 95% to 97% of the original tumor was removed. The first follow up MRI in Oct 2012 showed "stable residual tumor size." The MRI is 9:30 am and the neurosurgeon app't is noon.

Good luck tomorrow!  Positive energy for an MRI reading comparable to your other follow up MRIs.   :D
