Dear Postmark,


Thanks for the posting!  You must be thrilled!

My guess is you will be monitored once in a great while with MRI's since you had problems on the one side, before.

Congratulations.  That is the most fabulous news.



Best regards,

Hi, postmark:

Sincere congratulations on your 10-year 'anniversary' and a 'clean' MRI!  We all need to know that an acoustic neuroma can be removed successfully and even with a few lingering effects from the tumor and/or surgery, we can go on to live a good life, as you have.

Not only does time heal but life is good, indeed.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Hi
congratulations for 10years. I just joined your site yesterday.  I had my surgery in 1995.  I still need an MRI every year but as long as the dr reads the MRI and it is ok, I do not need to physically go and see him any more.  I joined because last summer and now this summer I have been experiencing fullness and numbness on the side I have no hearing. Reading comments and info from all o fyou.  I would appreciate any long term members that started experiancing these problems after all this time.
