Onceagain -

good luck with your surgery tomorrow.

Wishing you the best possible outcome and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Did we ever decide on what to call you post op?  Post Postie?

Can't wait to see you back  :)

Jan

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

Jan is very observant of surgery/radiation dates...and I'm glad that she is. 

My prayers and best wishes for 'onceagain' as she approaches surgery.  May all go well and her recovery be swift and complete.

Jim
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.
