Hi Mary,

My apologies for not seeing your reply sooner here. Glad to hear you are no longer having this symptom. Lately I have been having quite a bit of tingling /pressure in the bridge of my nose and am in the process of finding out what is causing that. It's disconcerting for me, annoying, and um worrying  a bit.

I have had my one year follow up scan after fsr and heard the happy news that my An is stable. Much as I wanted to hear that the "thing" was shrivelling and zapped out of existence, I'm thrilled that it's halted in its growth!

Best wishes for your six month report too!

Hi Windsong,

I did have a little minor sharp pains after CK but they were gone very quickly have not reoccurred.  I think it all depends on the location of the tumor whether it's touching the nerves.  It could have been swelling or radiation irritating the nerves causing these pains.  I do believe they should subside over time.  So, I know it's hard to do when you don't have the pain, but don't worry.  Time will heal :).

Take care,
Mary
