Hi everyone

I have not posted for awhile. I had my 5 year MRI
And results were good. For now I have to go for MRIs every 2 years.
Just wanted to share.

Congratulations!  I think it can get lost in the shuffle on here, but I think you are the norm and not the exception.  We need more people like you to post their positive outcomes on here.  Thank you for doing so as it is encouraging to me while I WW and ponder the different types of treatment that I very likely will have to choose from at some point.
