MRI came out great! I guess it's called NED! Yes I did the happy dance at work. Haven't checked in for a while, felt I was too negative to contribute anything positive. So better to not say anything at all! Feeling better now that it came back with good results. I check in with my doctor every two months for the first year, 3 months the 2nd, 4 months the 3rd etc. I wonder do others have the same experience with their doctors? Do they have to be seen so much? Anyway I'm happy, and I hope others get to feel what I felt when it came back NED!!!

    Woo Hoo NED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Congratulations on the great news!!! We will all join you in the happy dance :)

    My schedule was scans every 3 months for the 1st year, then every 6 months for the second plus I saw my ENT every month for the 1st year and every 3 months during the 2nd year. I would take comfort in being watched so closely.

    Now you can relax and enjoy life!!

    Stay strong,
    Glenna

    Hi Kingcole
    I am happy to hear the good news, and please don’t ever feel you are too negative to contribute to this forum. We are all just people who care about each other, that is why we are all here. I check in with my doc ever 6 months and do a PET and MRI every time. I believe it is because he likes me or just needs the money. lol

    Blessing to you

    Well thanks to all!
    Well thanks to all! I just went through a period were I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't like the sound of my own whinging, and didn't feel like anyone else would either, so I holed up and waited for it to pass and of course it did! Especially with a good MRI and PET scan. It is hard to come on here sometimes though and feel others suffering. Sometimes I can't stand to hear about another person going through this horrible ordeal. I'm just grateful for all of you and your positive messages and encouraging words. You help so many people that are in need.
