Hi, all I am Sheree and just found out about my AVM, I am a little scared so I am glad I have found this site now I know I am not alone so I will be here often to get advice and see how everyone is doing. After meeting with my doctors it seems my only option is surgery but I do have to do the embolizations first. What realy scares me the most is I want be my old self again I hope that I will so I will start to ask for your prays now to help me with this long journey ahead. Thanks Sheree

Hello Sheree,
You are not alone. I had emergency surgery two years ago I had two AVM and a stroke do to the AVM. I am going to tell that today I walk and talk and look very normal, people tell me that there is no way that I had brain surgery two years ago. Well, I am here by the grace of GOD almight… The doctors and everyone in the hospital could believe that I’m a miracle… Stay stron in your faith and believe in God and his angles are watching over you… My friend you will be alright!! that was the promise the Lord gave me that night when I was in coma for two weeks and here I am letting you know that the Lord said that you will be alright… God bless stay in touch…

You have the support from me too.

Sheree to be honest if i had the opportunity to have surgery i would jump at that you might ask why in my case is inoperable so they have to do the gamma, i had it done in September and i am going to check if they were able to zap it all off if not i have to do it all over again and wait a whole year for the results is very frustrating knowing that there is a surgery that can take all my fears away but that i am not able to have it done. now you will have my prayers but i must say even though you want to be yourself i must say since you are part of our family and with family you are honest you will never be the same you will see things in a different light now if you are taking phisical anything is possible here with alot of faith and hope and a good dose of prayer the sky is the limit you just have to be positive and know in your heart that god is by your side good luck and if you have any questions please feel free to ask i am a open book god bless love wendy

Welcome welcome! This is a great site! My AVM was found in Nov of last year had one embo and surgery Jan 21. I was a lucky girl as a seizure lead to the discovery. I am now almost 4 months post-op and am back at work just like my old self again. I am glad you are here and my prayers are with you while you embark on your journey and well after it too.

Sheree, my prayers will definitely be with you on this journey. I’m also glad you found the site, when I found it I also thought I was the only one. There lots of supportive friends you will find here. We sorta become a family, everyone understands exactly what your going though and makes it comforting to know we have someone to share it with. Good luck and I’ll be praying!
Take Care,
Sheila
