I'll be thinking of you, and thinking good thoughts that all will go very well.

1.5 cm AN diagnosed June 2007.   GammaKnife July 19, 2007 at Univ. of Washington/Harborview GK Center, Drs. Rockhill, Rostomily. 
After yearly MRIs for 5 years, it hadn't died. So I'm now leaning strongly toward surgery.

Best of luck, Satman.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

I'm off to Denver this morning, but hope to have computer access sometime in the coming days, so I can check in and see how you're doing.

Keep us posted when you feel up to it.
