Dec 14 2008 MRI with contrast22 viewsThe image on the left is the top down slice and the image on the right is the front to back slice. The solid tumor mass is right in the middle (grey). The tumor measured 3.1cm x 2.5cm. It had pressed my pituitary up against my brain and it has significantly pressed into my brain stem.

Jan 12 2010 MRI with contrast22 viewsThis image shows that there is very little tumor left after surgery. The remaining tumor is not solid and it is well scarred from radiation. This is very good news. My skull is solid again and I can go back to diving.

One Year side-by-side (horizontal cross-section)4 viewsThe image on the left was taken just before my surgery in January 2009. In the middle is a golfball sized whitish lump that was the tumor. On the right is the 1 year later image showing very little residual tumor. Most importantly, notice how nice and round my brain stem is on the right-hand image and how compressed it was by the tumor.

One Year side-by-side (coronal cross-section)3 viewsThis side-by-side really demonstrates how extremely concave my brain stem was due to the tumor and how nice and round it became when the tumor was removed.
