Retrosigmoid surgery and FR , respectively, in June and September/October 2006.  Recovered and appreciating life more than ever.   

I'm looking forward to toasting at midnight on New Year's Eve.

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.

Tayor and Taylorsmom gave me another idea!   :-*

We will raise our glasses to the youngest and the oldest on this forum, New Year's Eve.  (a seperate toast than the 06' AN treatment group of this year.........pretty soon we will get drunk toasting out the year on different "toast-outs!")    :)  Please all of you don't take my jokes that seriously.  (my English or Polish jokes; lol)

Concerts, toasts, travels.........Party on.....we all earned it, no-matter the age of the AN.   ;D  I'm the "oldest" on the list because, I never had kids!   :o

A special *toast* for Taylor and us OLDIE/GOODIES!  It is less than a couple of weeks away.  I remember and it seems just like yesterday, we were all looking forward to the millennium "toast-in."



Here is to a good today and better tomorrow,

I had retro Aug '06, then blot clot in sinus vein Sept '06, cause by the surgery. 

I just got the OK to stop taking blood thinner medication, so I will be toasting to all of you and MYSELF.  Believe me I need a good drink, it has been a trying year.  I say that 2007 has got to be a lot better than 2006.  All of us need to raise our glasses and be thankful.

Thank you all for all of the good information and opinions.  It is good to read and type out frustions to others that understand.

I had Retro in August 06, knee surgery in Feb. 06 and lost a very close cousin to cancer in July 06. I can't wait for this horrid year to end. I have been on a medication that forbids a drop of alcohol for the past three months and today I took the final pill. The doc say to give it another week, so I've decided to have a very nice New Years Eve celebration. We will be home with friends and family playing poker. Actually I haven't had any alcohol since the AN surgery. I'm sure I'll be a light weight, especially with wackies going on in my head.

Happy Holidays to all.
