6-month post GK update
« on: April 14, 2007, 06:24:49 pm »
Hi everyone,

I really don't check the board anymore, but I thought I'd share my 6-month post GK MRI update photos!  Check out the before and after pictures!

Before 1:
After 1:
Before 2:
After 2:

The tumor is about the same size, but there is a whole lot of dying going on!

I still get dizzy, and my balance still sucks, but both are not as bad as pre-treatment.  My hearing is still almost perfect.

Yeah!

See you locals at Maxwells!

Ellen:

Hi - and congrats to you!!

I don't think I have ever seen that much necrosis in a 6 month film.  Horray for you and a very good job done
for Dr. Noren.

Thanks for sharing your news/films, Kathy
