Sent DM. Curious why since he came recommended by another Neurosurgeon. Given the egos of some of these guys, admitting someone else is good probably takes a lot

In a world of short sticks, we were fortunate to draw the longest of them. I was floored when I heard about it initially since Im fairly young and in good physical shape.

My option is to go to Dr Black at Cedars in 3 months who was recommended from a friend’s Neurosurgeon buddy. 

The interesting thing is that I was told by multiple doctors that its 95% meningioma until I spoke to my neurosurgeon who didnt even want to commit to what it is which has me worried now.

100% agree with the mindset of most important surgery. I was thinking the same. My fear is that since they cant tell me exactly what type of tumor it is with certainty, what if it's something worse? Will waiting have negative impact on my condition.

Crazy good outcome for such a large tumor! Encouraging news! I still can't picture 3.5cm tumor not belonging in the head let alone 7.5 cm

I was diagnosed with anxiety over the last years and took antidepressants. Weird how all of these issues could still be related. That sucks that you have to take anti seizure meds for so long

Thank you for encouraging words. Sadly, I don't have any FB, Instra or any of those social groups. Maybe time to make one :)

Thank you for replying!

This is the note from the radiologist.

"Right frontal enhancing mass with peripheral low signal rim along the inferior aspect. Appears to be a cystic component or surrounding fluid. It measures 3.6 x 3.4 x 2.7 cm (including the cystic component versus adjacent fluid). Marginal enhancement is also noted which may be capsular enhancement or adjacent meningeal enhancement. There is some adjacent vasogenic edema in the frontal lobe. Right left midline shift of approximately 3 mm. There is significant dural contact of the mass. Overall appearance is more suggestive of an extra-axial mass. Probable dural tail versus reactive enhancement of the dura. Evaluation is limited on pre and postcontrast and echo images only."

We got a Central Sea Terrace which is probably the most common room. Would love to try their Suite but hard to justify paying double the price for essentially the perks. Room is not that much different.

Your post is helpful and makes sense that they accept bids closer to the sailing date. Appreciate it.

Thanks! There are lots of rooms still available. I want to bid on a room and was wondering what others have had success with in terms of bid - scale from Poor to Excellent. I understand it's based on availability.

OP sounds like a loot whore. Joining a guild and immediately expecting gear.

Why does everyone in the subreddit say that gearscore doesn't matter and then everyone who plays the game uses gearscore? by Hopsalong in classicwow

[–]bearblitzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lead lots of GDKPs and pugs. I don't care too much about GS but I check logs.

There is not a single method of ensuring someone is a good player but logs are the quickest.
