Berniefnp -

Best of luck tomorrow.  I'll be thinking about you and hoping you have a speedy, uneventful recovery.

Your fellow postie (I was retrosigmoid, too),

Hi, Berniefnp:

Sorry I missed your surgery date but I trust that by the time you read this you'll not only be a 'retro-postie' (like me) but well on your way to a full recovery.  Please accept my personal prayers and wishes for you as you begin your recuperation.   By all means, rest, but please, don't be a stranger.  ;)

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.

Got update from Berniefnp's husband.  She is home from her retrosigmoid, still w/ vertigo, but hearing preserved and no facial paralysis. ( I guess Mass General is a good place to go.!!) She will post soon.
Another AN hero, like all of us!!!

Glad to hear that!  She's been in my thoughts.  Great to hear when someone makes it to the other side with no side effects!
