3 year follow-up
« on: January 20, 2010, 06:19:11 am »
Spent most of my day in NYC yesterday having my three year follow-up MRI.  Just received the e-mail (drum roll please...)...the MRI is clean...Life is good.

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.
