This Friday, I'm scheduled for my second check-up MRI since I had the brain tumor removed on June 15, 2005. I might not be going this Friday, though.....depends on how much snow we get tonight and tomorrow. If we get enough snow......the MRI will be postponed.
I will know for certain tomorrow (probably as soon as in the morning) if I'll be going Friday or not. In any case, I would appreciate any prayers for a good outcome from anyone who is religious here at TCC. If everything looks fine, I won't be scheduled for another MRI until this time next year.
Your prayers for mine and mine for you.
Tom
I wish everything is ok as regards to your health, hope there's nothing strange in there. My prayers are with you
Thanks to both of you.
Hope everything goes well. My prayers are with you!
good luck. you'll be in my thoughts.
hope everything turns out well
Thanks to everyone!
Ooh, MRI's are no fun. Let's hope this one will be worth it and give you good news.
Wow had no idea you use to have tumor...I will definately say a prayer for you..your one of the most supportive members on TCC!!!
I hope there is nothing serious...
You've got my prayers..
Very true. At least it's not painful.
Well - the MRI has been postponed due to iffy weather. Now scheduled for March 26th - but will still appreciate any prayers. This MRI is just to make certain that the tumor has not grown back. The past tumor was benign, but the type of tumor can grow back. I just hope and pray that it doesn't.
hope everything works out
You are always in my thoughts and prayers Cody!!
They postponed it from tomorrow to March??
Ok, good luck again. Sure we'll post when the date is closer
It's looking like we made the right decision postponing the MRI.....snowed quite a bit more last night than we expected. But, now.....I'm hoping I can get home safely today......I've never driven in snow before.
My thoughts go out to you! I didn't know you had a tumor but best wishes!
Thanks again to everyone.
I'm going for the MRI tomorrow, so please continue to keep me in your prayers for a good outcome! I appreciate it!
Good luck and I hope all goes well!
Good luck Cody!! Everything will be ok!
You're in my prayers, Codester.
good luck, i'm thinking of you, and congrats on making the tcc team!
Hope all goes well!
Thank you Shawn and Josh!
Well.....God just gave me the best 'mojo' - everything looked fine! My neurologist said the MRI looked beautiful - everything looked normal. I'm scheduled for another check-up MRI next year (March 24, 2008), as he still wants to continue to keep a check on it (he said it's rare for a person my age (19) to have a large brain tumor like the one I had. To everyone: thank you a million for your thoughts and prayers! I thank God once again for all being ok. God bless you all for your concern.
Congrats on everything being ok, and hope all continues to go well!!
wohoo!!!!! great news cody!!!!! glad your fine!!
Woohoo!! Those are great news in the past days Cody!
What else could you ask for?
that's what I wanted to hear!
great news!
Thank goodness everything checked out bud.
Oh man. God's will is a great thing. I'm glad you're doing alright
Thank you everyone! Once again, I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers for me over the past bit.
Great to hear!
Awesome to hear cody!!!
I go for my next check-up MRI next Monday. As usual, I'm a little nervous right now, but I gotta have faith in the Man above.
Best of luck Cody, obviously I hope everything turns out to be just fine
Good luck Cody!
Hope everything goes well!
I am back.
The MRI showed a small, 8 millimeter tumor on the outside of the brain near my left temple. According to my neurosurgeon, I have nothing to worry about at the moment; however, my next check-up scan has been moved up to August 4 as he said this needs to be watched. It's possible that the tumor could continue growing, or it might stay the same size. If the first case is true, it will eventually need to be taken care of through surgery or radiation. He said surgery would be much less involved than the operation that removed the original tumor in 2005 (which was as large as a man's fist) due to the smaller size. I pray that it grows no more.
Everyone, thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I would appreciate any more you could throw my way over the next half-a-year.
Best of luck Cody, I'll be thinking of you.
well all be thinking of you in the next couple months..
Bad news & good news type of thing. I'm sadden to hear that something is there but it's good to know that you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
I'll be thinking of you in the coming months.
I'll be thinking of you, Cody.
Cody,
Prayers aren't my bag of tricks.
Know this, my thoughts are with you and if I could possibly transfer good health, strength and wisdom-of-all, you would be in the Decathlon in Beijing this summer and the World Chess Champion.
I wish you well and keep your head up.

Cody, I wish you the best and let's hope it doesn't grow so you need no surgery.
Cody,
I'll certainly keep you in my prayers and hope that things go well.
Wish you the best dude. Hopefully they have T.V. glasses there so you can catch up with ESPN while you are having your test done. Later, TL
Stay Healthy Cody, and as long as you have faith and know everything happens for a reason, you will be alright
Cody, you take care, bud! You are in all our prayers!!

-mike
Hope the tumor doesn't get bigger or create further problems. Life works in funny ways...I wish it didn't happen to you, as you are sincerely one of the nicest/kindest person I've met online.
Hey guys,
I go for my check-up MRI tomorrow. I would appreciate any and all prayers.
mvpujols#5 is going with me for "moral support" to pass the time while we are waiting for results. I pray that everything goes alright.
Hope everything goes ok, Cody!
I got your back brother.
I donated heavily so Father Don said all the mases today for your behalf! and will have a special intercession tomorrow during the morning mass for your continued good health!
Hope all goes well
Sending positive thoughts your way Cody for a positive check up
Cody, you will certainly be in my prayers today and tomorrow and my family will be pulling for a positive outcome tomorrow and a peaceful heart and mind.
Codyman,
I hope everything goes okay during the check up. I'm thinking nothing but positive thoughts for you.
I'll be praying for you tonight, Cody. hope all goes well, man!
Thank you to each of you for the prayers! I'm a nervous wreck right now.
Cody Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'm back, and the outcome was great.
According to my neurosurgeon, the tumor has not grown at all. According to him, it is about the size of a "pea". He said it is nothing to worry about - the tumor is currently "stable". I'm due for a check-up MRI in six months, as he said it's best to watch it.
I'm glad Landon went with me, as he helped keep my mind off of the issue a little bit. Thank you to each of you for your support!
It's the size of a pea cause you're a PEA BRIAN! Let's hope you remain a pea brian so nothing will ever happen again But seriously I am very happy that all went well! Did you make any trades with Landon at the hospital?!?

A side note, I have to go with my brother in law 8/12 for his brian surgury to remove a cist

Here's to continued good reports and good health!
Tremendous news Cody! Glad to see everything's alright!
I go for my next MRI on next Monday (4/13), one day before my birthday.
I'm hoping for a good birthday present a day early! Needless to say for those who know anything about me, I'm already beginning to worry about the result. I would appreciate any thoughts and prayers.
You've got it buddy!!!! There are many here on the site who have your back and will certainly devote our prayers to you!!!!
Cody, I'm sure all will go well... Best of luck either way and I'll be thinking of you!
Cody, Good Luck!
Cody!!!! Awesome news my friend! Reading that just made my day! You will continue to be in my family's thoughts and prayers everyday!
I'll put in a good word for ya, Cody!
Hope all goes well!
Still praying for you Cody.
We're always thinking of you Cody.
My thoughts are with you Cody!
Hope it goes well, Cody!
Tomorrow - I'm nervous as can be.
WoW! I am thoroughly amazed that this is the first I have heard of this, Cody. I feel bad.
My thoughts and prayers are with you...you have faced such a challenge already...you know how to handle it...I am impressed.
Good luck tomorrow...I am sure all will be well. The man definitely has a plan for you.
I don't know Bob about the "know how to handle it". I knew how to during the first go-round (the month before the surgery), as my mother and I were as calm as we have ever been....filled with faith I guess. Lately though I get very nervous and stressed prior to each check-up. I was like this even before they found the second tumor.
Hope everything turns out okay.
Can you say reschedule again?
It looks like there could be potentially severe storms in the area tomorrow, and all parties involved (me, mother, and our ride) agreed it might be safer to reschedule. (We would be driving around 90-100 miles to get to Vanderbilt).
Going tomorrow.
Hope it all goes well tomorrow Cody, sending all my positive vibes your way
Best of luck Cody... I'm sure you'll be A-OK!
Good luck Cody!!! THarmon and I will keep you in our thoughts tomorrow.
Good luck, Cody! This is probaby easier said that done, but don't worry until they're something to worry abt. But, I'm sure there won't be. Take care.
I'll say a prayer for you to Buddha tonight! Hope all goes smoothly!
Cody, hope everything works out for you. I'm sure it will.
cody,
we'll be thinking of you here
I'm back, but uninformed.
I had the MRI but walked into the doctor's office to see a packed house. My doctor was FOUR hours behind. They are going to call us with the results when they have a chance. The receptionist said it could be 2-3 weeks, but knowing my doctor he probably won't take that long. If we don't hear anything in the next couple days we will call.
I believe if something had been found, you would have been contacted already....
Not necessarily as backed up as he was today. The best I could tell, he had some kind of emergency early that morning.
But he's a good doctor. After my surgery in 05 he called my mother from a conference in ITALY to let let us know the original tumor was benign.
Ugh! Waiting is the hardest part. I hope you don't have to wait too long.
Hopefully he has time to read his email - found his email address and just sent an email apologizing for missing him again.
Cody, as Michael said.. I'm sure if there was anything dire that needed to be shared, you would have been made aware. Still hoping for the best for you!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The doctor actually replied to my email (how many doctors do that?). Stable and NO CHANGE!!! Just go again in 6 months.
I'm the happiest guy in the world right now.
Always glad to hear this Cody!
OUTSTANDING!!!!! In a world of bad news it is awesome to hear some good news, and that is very good news!!!!!
Excellent!

I feel like doing a little jig.....
1 year and 2 months with NO GROWTH at all....fantastic!
Good to hear Cody!
hey, ffman. Great! I am talking to u right now.....
That's good to hear.
Good deal Cody!!
I think ive had about 9? MRI's now...
Have you gotten to where you fall asleep in it?
When the nurse sees me coming she just gets a blanket and says have a nice nap!
Awesome Cody ! Keep up the great work.
This was probably my.....6 or 8th?.... altogether I guess.
If it wasn't so darn uncomfortable I might be able to - I actually closed my eyes and thought about trying today.
Heres another tip:
Try rapping to the beat
That's awesome, Cody! I'm so happy for you. I can't even count the number of MRI's I've had. They've always been a part of my life. I haven't had them very regularly. Only when I've had a problem or when it's been awhile and I see a new dr.
That's awesome, congrats Cody!!!!
Congrats on the great news!!!
I go for my next MRI check-up January 25th unless I reschedule. Not certain what I will do as the 25th is my first day of classes.
Keep us updated Cody
My MRI is now scheduled for February 8th.
My Feb 8th scan was rescheduled.
I go for my scan tomorrow; please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
So......how'd it go?

Thank the Lord the MRI went great; my tumor shows no growth. My doctor even backed up my next scan from six months to one year.

That's great news!
Will continue to keep you in my prayers though.
-Trent

Update - I didn't go today. Sunday morning I woke up with bad sinus drainage. Later during the day my legs and arms began to feel restless, and I also started having chills. Last night my temp got up to 100.9, and has been fluctuating between 98.6 and 100 (my normal is around 97.7).
They don't want me over there sick around other patients. It has been rescheduled for May 2.
I am going tomorrow, May 2, for my check-up.
I would appreciate any thoughts and prayers!
Edit.
Good news no growth thank God. Thanks for the prayers!
Keep up the good work Cody.
Wonderful news!
Another Gift received!
My next yearly check-up MRI is this Monday (July 2nd). Please keep me in your prayers for a scan that shows no growth.
Good luck Cody.
Hope all goes well again!!
Hope it goes well! Let us know.
Prayers For you and your family, God bless
Hopefully still no changes Cody, our thoughts are with you.
Hope it turns out good for you Cody.
Sending prayers your way Cody
Thanks to everyone for the prayers and well-wishes. To quote my doctor, the scan was "perfect"; no growth - the tumor is the size same (pea-sized) as when it was discovered four years ago. I go for another check-up next year; if future scans are good, I may be able to delay the MRIs to one every two years.
Thanks to mvpujols#5 and his mother for taking/going with us.
Awesome news!glad to hear that!
Great to hear Cody, would be nice to only deal with it every other year I bet.
Great news, Cody.
My next check-up is scheduled for tomorrow. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers for a good result of no growth. Thanks!
Hope your check-up goes well and there is no change. Good Luck!
Just got back - the scan went great. The tumor has not grown since it was found 5 years ago. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!
Glad to hear the news Hope it never comes back!
God is good!!!
Great newS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I go for my next scan Wednesday. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers for continued good results. As of 2015 all was great so my doctor postponed my scans to every two years.
Hope all goes well next Wednesday

Hope all goes well for you.
Don't worry brother! You've got this.
Thanks y'all!
