Shrinkage
« on: August 30, 2017, 10:12:50 am »
Hi all.  I read this site every day and I thought it is time for me to post.  I had radiation treatment done in November 2015.  I was not happy with the doctor and hospital so I had my last MRI done in my small city (Kingston, NY) and told myself that if there was anything unusual that I would find another doctor in NYC.  I had all my previous films transferred to the new facility and after a comparison it shows a decrease in the anterior/posterior dimension presently 0.4cm (vs. 0.8 cm).  I am very relieved at the change and just wanted to pass that information along.  As you can see from my info, I have had years of issues and this last one really freaked me out.  But all is well!  Thank you for your concerns over the years.
