Hey a.m.-

You'll never believe it, but I've been corresponding with your mom on Twitter and on her blog about you!  It is good to hear that you are doing so well this time - hopefully your recovery will be smooth and uneventful.

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.

A.M.,

Glad to hear everything went well!

Thanks for sharing pics, I'm always curious about everyone else's MRIs and scars.

Eat some ice cream, I'm convinced it helps heal things faster!
