Cheryl ~

Congratulations on reaching the 1000-post pinnacle!!  That and your 5-year tenure as an active, valued member of the discussion forums  is a sure indication of your dedication to other AN patients.  Folks like you, Cheryl, are the backbone of the forums and you are appreciated by many.

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.

Oh, my! Looks like somebody should be getting a hat. Hopefully you will stick around a while longer, my production rate is slowing way down. :)

Congratulations, Cheryl, and kudos for sticking with the forum for 5 years. Stay for 5 more, but don't get anymore ANs, please, two is plenty.

Congratulations, Cheryl  ;D

I'm a big advocator of "oldies" sticking around the Forum.  You offer a valuable service to newbies - and other oldies (me included) - alike.

This is definitely a milestone to be celebrated - and the promise of a Steve original is just the icing on the cake  8)

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

I appreciate all of everyones thoughtful responses.     I just thought it was fun that I was to so many and had to mention it.     I've been around some type of AN internet since my 2001 first surgery so has been awhile.          Kate B had her surgery the same month as my first one so there are a few of long timers around.         Since I am now retired and esp with this darn winter, I am on the computer way too much.                 Much more fun than house cleaning!                   
I am afraid that it has been 3 tumors I have had and 4 surgeries so quite enough and I know well that there is life after AN surgery.
Plus I like pastels so Steve can do an hat anytime!                          We are now over 60" snow in central Iowa this winter and more yesterday and more tomorrow.                My Michigan daughter has had less than us!
I will make this a post with all info.            I so feel for the families with children overseas.             Our step niece and husband who is also army reserve are back in Iraq for their second time.     Their first wedding anniv is in April and they are glad to be married this time around and get to be together.                                    Cheryl R
