Story in New York Times
« on: April 15, 2013, 10:03:15 am »
Anyone read the column, Modern Love, in yesterday's NY Times?  It was all about the writer's experience with an AN and the important role her friend played in her journey.  It is very touching.

Good story although the author's AN is only a part of a larger experience.  Here's a link to it:

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.

Great story. The author is the leader of the LA support group. I've never met her, but hope to at the symposium. :)
