I had my AVM back on 2001. Have many of you passed the year year mark?
We have a couple of members whose avms were removed in the 1970s and 80s, if you can believe it. I see you have found our "Long-term Survivors" group. I imagine more members will join it, soon.
Kaled... My AVM was diagnosed in 2007......In August of this year, it will be my 5 years anniversary that I am AVM Free!
I’m new to the game - my AVM hit in 2013. But check back in 2025 and I’ll be here. 
My AVM was diagnosed and repaired by craniotomy in 1977 while six months pregnant. So that will be 37 years for me this September.

You're welcome. I don't think I'll make another 37 years though. The bleed happened at age 28 and I'll be 65 this year.
