Kaybo ~

Happy Birthday, youngster!  :)

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.

Kay -

you're not getting older, you're getting better. 

And remember, you'll always be younger than Lori - and me!

Hope you had a great one, little sis.
