So today I went for my yearly mri and it has been 3 yrs since my avm journey started. In this 3 yrs i had 2 embolizations and gamma (all in '07) and finally have received good news!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still have my avm BUT the nidus is half the size it was last year!!!!! So the 3rd yr of the radiation did the best work. And we are going to wait 6 months and see what changes happen. Either it will stay the same or shrink some more. So even though i'm still waiting its the best news we have received in a very long time!!! So now my next mri and appt will be october 18th. Its just awesome to know we are closing in on the end here! So possible gamma knife in 6 months or some more waiting all depends on what the mri in october shows. I'm so happy with this news I had to share with my entire avm family. Hugs and wishes to all :)

awesome! The next six months will both take forever and prob go by in a flash.
