Laura,

Good for you!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Good to hear of your test results. I, personally, am 3 weeks and 2 days without symptoms from GK my first test date will be I suppose June 11, 2013. I can't wait, but I do want to go symptom free for as long as possible!

 Have a good long summer! I know I will. I'm relishing the silence that used to be occupied by dread of the uncertain future!

Congratulations!

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.

Hi,  I never saw a bill for my proton radiation, not even a copayment.  Good insurance.  I have no regret.  The whole experience turned me into a huge snob for mass general in Boston.   :)
