Sher ~

Due to some log-in problems collateral to the site server transition I'm a bit late in offering you my congratulations on your MRI results and I apologize for that, although it couldn't be helped.  We all know how exciting the necrosis/shrinking MRI report can be and so we can easily understand your elation and be very pleased to share in it.  I hope your symptoms abate, soon.

Jim
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.
