Hi Joe:  I had my gallbladder removed years ago - you'll feel so much better once the surgery part is behind you.
Piece of cake compared to AN surgery...
Always good thoughts,  Nancy

Keep up with your pain meds for a few days and be sure to get up and walk around the house.  You're going to feel so much better soon!  Starr

Joe ~

Thanks for the update.  Good to learn that although you're minus your gall bladder you're on the mend - at home.

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.
