Hi, Jo ~

Happy second anniversary (of your AN surgery).  These milestones are important and demonstrate that there really is 'life after AN surgery'.  In your case (and mine) - a good life!  :)

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
