Posted this over at Avsim, but same applies...
About 6 weeks on from last opp and had final MRI and CT scans this week, after swelling finally reduced enough. Doc said, and I quote... "
Looks like we probably managed to remove the whole obnoxious mass this time".
Although he was optimistic last time too, and I really don't like the word "
probably", it does sound and feel very promising indeed

I'm a long way from recovERED, still suffering pain that's driving me nuts, and still have some odd motor function issues, but I am recoverING, and would like to thank each and every one of you, for your words, your wishes and your prayers. They all meant a great deal, and touched my heart. Seems they ALSO touched my brain it seems;-)))) Still be a month or two at least b4 any simming. Typing this was hard enough;-)
All in all though, things have gone FAR better than me and my family could EVER have hoped for! Thanks again guys n gals!!!!
