One Year
« on: October 03, 2010, 10:43:38 pm »
Though my one year anniversary was on Sept 22nd, I forgot to post here then!

If anyone's interested, there's a one year update on my blog, and I just posted a picture of my "tumor tattoo" that I got last night.  ;D

Nice ink. It sounds like you are doing really well. Such reports are always good to read for those of su that come behind.

Hi, Nikki ~

Congratulations on your One-Year anniversary!  I'm glad to learn that your recovery continues, even now.  Your labyrinth tattoo is creative and expressive.  Good choice.

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.
