Joan, I am so happy for you that you were able to have the gamma treatment and that it's behind you now. I was out of the town for the weekend and didn't have my password with me or I would have responded sooner. I'm sorry I did not think to tell you that I had an IV for the MRI contrast. I hope you weren't taken aback when they put it in. My next mri is in August 2020 unless I experience any symptoms of another meningioma. I'm with you - I'm not going to worry about it now or even think about it until next year. I have a new problem to focus on now. I found out last week the results of a biopsy I recently had on a nodule on my thyroid. The results came back "suspicious, at risk, 50% chance of cancer'. I'm meeting with my endocrinologist tomorrow as I have a million questions. She's already told me by phone she thinks I should have all or at least part of my thyroid removed surgically. Ugh. I feel I've had enough surgery for a lifetime already. But fortunately, thyroid cancer is very treatable. Usually, a thyroidectomy is all that is needed. I'll get more info tomorrow. I hope you have a healthy and happy 2019 also! Jill
