Hi, Steve ~

Thanks for your positive update.  I'm glad to learn that your recovery is going well. 

Merry Christmas to you, too!  :)

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.

Merry Christmas to you, too, Steve.

I'm glad to hear that your doctor is pleased with your progress.  Being diagnosed with an AN is definitely scary - and the treatment isn't always pretty either - but we're all proof that you can survive and have a great life.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
