It's been a long time!
« on: August 15, 2014, 06:31:07 pm »
Hi everyone!!

It's been a long time since I've checked in.  For my AN friends from "way back", a hearty hello.  To those of you i've never chatted with, hello to you too.  I'm sure you all know by now that this forum is filled with folks who share a common bond and are willing to lend an ear anytime - even if the ear is impaired a bit!!  ;D

My last MRI revealed a slight regrowth of the pesky thing, so I'll go back more often now.  My checkups for post cancer treatment have all been going well and I am still trying to take one day at a time.  Work and family are fantastic - all is good. 

Take care!!!

WOW, Kathy .....

I did not realize it had been that long since your AN journey began!  You have been through so much and have maintained such a positive attitude through it all (I'm sure you have had your moments!  :-*).

Thanks for checking back in here.

Many prayers that your pesky AN stops growing!  I am in the same boat (little gray cloud overhead  :().  My next MRI is not scheduled until next May so we can pray for each other!  :)
