Lilan ~

Thanks for the link to the Chicago Tribune article.  Well written and easy to grasp.  I was pleased to see the writer interviewed ANA Director Judy Vitucci as well as Dr. Wiet.  The article also does a nice job of 'advertising' the ANA symposium.  Good catch!

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.
