Phyl.... Live on YouTube
« on: February 13, 2010, 06:58:06 am »
well, Accuray (manufacturer of Cyberknife) flew to Boston to do this of me.... and a few others that do not have AN's but had CK done.....  OH, do I need a facelift, a nose job and need to color my hair.

So, for your viewing pleasure......

Just a side note.... as we know, "individual results may vary...", but this is just my AN CK story........ and sending wellness wishes to all.

Tried to watch but forgot I am on dial up (there is no DSL where I live!!).  Will have to wait until I can go to work.  Really wanted to see it!

Happy Trails,

Oh Piffle Pearly Whites... You look fabulous daaarling. Fabulous! All those facial nerves are firing just fine... I see blink action of the eyelids in perfect unison... Baby you look great!!! ... What so many would give for that full function... and to symmetrically show off pearly whites (I would be so lucky!)

You are active, confident to be on camera for the entire web to see... don't change a thing Pearly Girl... We WUVS ya just the way YA AW!!!  ;D

Phyl -

from the bottom of my heart, I have to thank you for being such a great advocate for people with acoustic neuromas.

As you know, I recently made a very tough decision in my AN Journey and I've doubted myself and my decision ever since I made it.

But listening to you just now made me realize that I made the very best decision I could have made and I'm very proud to join you on this advocacy journey.

Thanks for all you do.  As Patrick said, you're a natural on camera and you look great; truly.

Today, even more than other days, I'm proud to say I know you.  Those of us with ANs are lucky to have you.

Keep up the great work.  You rawk!  ;D

Phyl ~

Well done!  You look fine and delivered a cogent message that will surely help those contemplating Cyberknife treatment.

So, when do you get your own TV talk show?  ;)

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.

There already is a Dr. Phil Talk Show :)

Thanks all for the kind words.  For those that know me well.... well, it was just me being me (for BoSox fans, much like Manny being Manny but not as outrageous!)

My hope in doing this video is to help others along the way in their AN journey, regardless of what decision choice is made (as everyone here knows, I cheer on everyone!).

Jan, as a side note to you.... well, I think you know how I feel, esp. about what you wrote... and I am VERY blessed as well to have you (and so many others) along side as well!  :-* You rawk as well!  ;) :-*

Thanks again all...
