Not to scare you I lefty my 2.0cm along and it grew in a year to 3.2cm, go figure. I think best MRI semi annually I waited a year and it was to late. Be careful on what contrast dye there using, i have gotten Gadolinium Toxicity now from to many contrast MRI's, Now I get them with no contrast.

Sincerely,

I have also just been diagnosed with AN which is 17mm. My instinct is bury my head in the sand, and do nothing. I have been recommended to have radiation therapy, a one off blast, but I am worried that I may become worse than I am now. There are risks. I have tinnitus and hearing loss, I have no in-balance or dizziness....yet, but I think it is only going to get worse in the long run if I do nothing.
