Vogstar5 Surgery Update
« on: October 15, 2008, 07:42:49 am »
Vogstar5 (Sue) who has posted a few times had her surgery on Mon (Oct 13th) at University of IA. I received an email from her daughter this morning who said that her surgery went great and she is doing well.

I will post more when I hear it.

Cathy:

Thanks for the update on Sue.  I'm sure many folks will be pleased to learn the good news regarding her successful surgery.

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.

Thank goodness another success story!  Wish her well and I'll be a 'postie' soon enough as well .... seems weird saying that ... 'postie' since I have been waiting a year .....  Tomorrow at this time I hopefully will be getting the 'tap, tap' on the shoulder to wakey, wakey!  :)
