I originally posted this and have failed to keep up reading these responses. It is so refreshing to know others are dealing or have dealt with the same or similar. I hate it for everyone. My last appointment did show that it appears a tiny bit of leakage may be occurring again. He did not want to do anything still but he is seeing me in a shorter amount of time. I did break down. I still have not sent my info out to the neurosurgeron at Brigham & Women's because I know he will want to take it out. I would love updates from all of you! Thank you so much for sharing. My NS is currently at UAB so at least we know he has experience with one (me). ha. He does seem to make me not worry as much because he is just hopefuly nothing ever happens.

I understand how you feel. My neurosurgeon wants to continue watching too in hopes that nothing will happen. I get headaches occasionally, which before this event, I rarely got. My doc says they are caused by movement of the remnants. He did tell me the globules are very sticky and it’s risky surgery since when removing them healthy tissue can be removed as well. I get the feeling you have to weigh the benefits vs the risks. Since last posting, I heard back from the Mayo requesting scans which I sent but have heard nothing back. That was a good three to four weeks ago. If I do get an appointment, I’ll post their advice.
