Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Good luck Mikey, be sure and let me know the outcome! I have one question - IF there was any problem--would you go to North Carolina?? marie My MRI >Well guys, I haven't had an MRI of my head in a year and a half, tomorrow >is the big day.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 We've got you covered!! The Becvars in Texas (It's even getting a bit chilly here! We are expecting a high of low 30's on Tuesday near Houston!) I agree - BRRRRRR!!! My MRI Well guys, I haven't had an MRI of my head in a year and a half, tomorrow is the big day. I have had some hearing loss lately so it's time to get it checked out. All prayers are welcome and needed. So keep me in your thoughts tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Godspeed, Mikey, and ditto on the BRRRRRR. West Texas, where the last time it snowed, it threw the election into chaos (Nov. 7), as Hell froze over. High tomorrow is supposed to be 25, with wind chill of -3. I think that minus sign means below 0, but us West Texans didn't know that was possible. --- becvar wrote: > We've got you covered!! > > The Becvars in Texas (It's even getting a bit chilly > here!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Well of course my question would have to be how many have they done? Wonder if you could get Fukishima to come back to AGH IF you needed it? I bet Fukishima has done more than Chen? I do like Chen tho, I think he calls a spade a spade. He was the one who told me to quit messing around, bite the bullet and get that tumor out of there! marie My MRI >> >> >> >Well guys, I haven't had an MRI of my head in a year and a half, tomorrow >> >is the big day.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 OK guys and gals, here is my MRI report. Have not heard back from Dr. Chen yet. Mike History: Type ii Neurofibromatosis. Bilateral internal auditory canal acoustic neuromas with previous surgery. History of neuromas of righ hypoglossal nerve. History of biternporal craniotomies. Previous surgery was in 1995 and 1996. Previous study of 3/1/99 is not available for comparison. There is some deformity and increased signal over the cilvus, nonspecific. There is also bony deformity of the internal auditory canals consistent with previous surgery, with mild enhancement. This was noted on the previous study of 1999, and recurrent neurofibromas cannot be excluded on the basis of this study. Also, there is curvilinear increased signal in the region of the right hypoglossal canal measuring approximately 10 x 14 x 14 mm, consistent with patients history of neurofibroma. This apparently measured 8 x 13 mm in length on the precious study. There is question of some enhancement in the region of the jugular foramen bilaterally. The ventricles are in the midline. No definite midline shift or mass effect. The diffusion images appear unremarkable. Impression: 1.) Post-surgical changes with bony deformity of the internal auditory canals bilaterally. 2.) Mild enhancement of the internal auditory canals bilaterally, suggestive of recurrent neurofibromas. 3.) Approximate 10 X 14 X 14 mm enhancing density, right hypoglossal canal consistent with a neuroma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 Just heard from Dr. Chen, the only real change was the hypoglossal nerve, and that we are just going to keep an eye on.
