hello friends thanks for your love and support so far!! just wanted to share that yesterday during a checkup angiogram I was given the all clear!!! WOOT WOOT!!! my doc (interventioal radiologist) said three magic words as he finished up the procedure “it’s all gone!” this came as a bit of a shock actually, as we went in expecting to hear I would have to have more surgery as according to the last MRI there appeared to be blood still passing through the AVM. So after two complicated embolizations and an ensuing stroke, then an extra op to retrieve a broken angio catheter from my carotid artery this year, you can imagine we were really over everything and wanting to move forward in our lives, and we now feel like we have been given the freedom to do so!!! Such a wonderful feeling… Hubby and I are so thankful and relieved, and our 3 year-old son seems to understand that I am finally all better which is great too. Doc called again today and just confirmed that yes I am CURED!! and do not need to see him or the neuro again, follow up MRI in 6 months, angio in 12 months. Sincerely hoping that there will be many more stories like mine to be read on here in the not too distant future…love to all. Carolyn
