Thanks for the update. I had no idea. This hotel is only 30 miles from my house. I purchased the CD's via ANA and enjoyed every minute. So much information! Would love to go but not a "Wench"...Sorry! Is there a male adjective for this word????  :-\

FlyersFan, oh, we welcome you and we promise we won't harrass you too much! Actually, I'm looking forward to finally meeting "face to face" many AN'ers that I have been conversing.  The local group leader in Metro Boston has given up the realm, so I have yet to meet anyone local (hey JoeF! Crazykat!) but looking forward to meeting many from here and hearing what ANA is going to present.

I attended the Symposium last year which was held in Orlando. I gathered a wealth of information on all treatments. I was pre treatment at the time. The University of Florida was the host so many of their physicians spoke. It was well balanced towards all treatments with some friendly ribbing between the different points of view. Dr Brackmann from House spoke as well as many others. I would recommend it to anyone pre or post treatment. I plan to attend, even though I have had my surgery.

Gennysmon, I will have to think about all you "Wenches" crashing at my pad. Also,  I'm not a big FAN of parrots. Could you leave the bird at home??? Sincerely, Surley Bloke    :D

Hey Phyl....

   Whadayasay we get together at the Burlington Mall sometime soon? I'll bring my MRI photos for conversation sake. We'll eat at the foodcourt or something and compare notes.  I'll bring my girlfriend Jody with me who I know you'll really like.

I have attended the last 2 symposiums mostly due to the location of them so made for a nice vacation.     I was looking for NF2 info and enjoyed having Dr Slattery give the session on bilateral tumors.             If one is post treatment it is a nice way to meet other ANers and if pre treatment to get information and also to see we all look pretty normal in most cases.    I only saw one person with a walker last summer.         I loved Disney World and want to go back but not in the heat of summer.       I doubt I will be going to Philadelphia.

Cheryl,

Thanks so much for sharing this with me/us! VERY helpful so we know what to possibly anticipate! :)  Hope you are doing well and hanging tough!

Paul, you are on!  If you want, email me here on the site and coordinate that coffee with you and your gf. My bloke will be here in 2 wks from London but regardless, so looking forward to meeting another local An'er... have spoken on the phone to a few, but not met in person.
