Symptoms after cyberknife
« on: August 07, 2017, 01:21:44 pm »
I just wanted to share my experience here with my latest MRI and doctor visit. I am 3 years post cyberkn. and hadn't had an MRI in that time. Yes, stupid I know. But I was very busy becoming a new grandma and the brain booger was the last thing on my mind.

About 3 weeks ago I had a bad bout of dizziness out of the blue that lasted 3 days or so. I'm pretty sure it had to do with my sinuses and an air scrubber with a dirty filter that they had placed in my office area at work. The filter in this thing hadn't been changed since 2009...really!?  ::) Anyway, I knew I was overdue for the MRI, called my doctor and had it done. Got the results last Friday and happy to say, no growth, no change.

I asked my doc (Dr. Eshragi, Univ. of Miami) if I needed to have the MRI's every year and he said he wanted me back in a year, but maybe after that, every other year. I have been having a lot of sinus issues this summer because it has been so very hot and there is mold in the building where I work.

So moral of the story, just because you have symptoms doesn't mean it's growing. BUT... don't wait 3 years to get an MRI like me...duh.  :D
