Merry Christmas!!
« on: December 20, 2008, 06:38:07 pm »
Just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.  I can't begin to tell you how much I've appreciated your support on this forum.  I'll be getting my 1 yr post treatment MRI and audiogram within the next month or so.  All is well.
Take care,
Sandra

Be sure you all read it.  ;D

Steve is sunshine on a totally snowed and iced in Oregon wild winter day... I just love what he wrote and thought we need to pull it out again of our ANA winter box...  this year. It is too good to archive away...

Cheers,

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my fellow ANers...I'll be gone for six weeks to Mexico and will check in when I get back feb 15/09....In the meantime, to all those who will be having a procedure performed, best of luck and have a speedy recovery. I'll do what I can to send some sunshine and warm weather back to those who are in the "mist of winter woes"..

Well, the bloke and I are scrambling to get packed to celebrate the holidays in the UK.... and to meet many AN'ers (and JeWeL) on the 31st for breakfast.  Should be a good time! :)

For all of you here.... we send our wishes for a good holiday season, filled with joy, good HEALTH, prosperity..... we send huggles to all those that haven't felt well lately... and smiles for all those with recent good news about their AN journeys.  We send our love and hugs to you all here, who have become VERY special to us over the years....

Feliz Navidad
Happy Crimbo!
Happy Holidaze! ;)
Most of all, happy, healthy new year!

Thanks, Mary.  Merry Christmas to you and all the folks that make these forums informative, interesting and entertaining - and a wonderful New Year, too.  :)

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.
