MRI Appointment Scheduled - Dr. Lalwani question
« on: February 13, 2007, 12:19:07 pm »
Hi,

Well I changed my appointment for next  Wednesday 2/21  to meet with the doctor and scheduled my MRI for right after the consultation.  The faster I get this behind me the better....

Anyway, has anyone ever meet with Dr. Lalwani?  He took over for Dr. Cohen.  It would have been nice if Dr. Cohen would've sent out a courtesy letter informing his patients that he was retiring.  I would've liked to have known that my file was in another doctor's office. 

Also, does anyone have information on the average growth rate for an AN???

Thanks,
Jen

AN growth rates vary (mine has only grown 3mm in 5 years) but the majority of medical experts put the 'average' at between 1 and 2mm per year.

Residing UK. In 'watch & wait' since diagnosis in March 2002 with right side AN. Initially sized at 2.5cm and now self reduced to 1.3cm.
All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.
