Welcome to the world, Juliet Mae!

Thanks for sharing the good news, Dale.  :)

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.

I have 2 very special granddaughters who are staying here for a few days due to the unexpected trip for their parents to go out of state to a funeral as my son in laws best friend in high school lost his wife  to colon cancer at age 35.  One child age 2.       Both parents had their PhDs in chemistry.     Just so sad for the family.    Makes one realize how lucky we are.        I shouldn't be mentioning this on here but we here know how one never knows what can happen to us in life.

So sorry for your SIL's friend ... my son also lost a friend at the same age a couple of years ago to colon cancer keep asking my son to please get checked as well especially that this runs in our family and it is a cancer that can be prevented if detected early along with family history.

Best Wishes,
Diagnosed with a 1 cm. AN had Retrosigmoid
Approach surgery July of 2009, several problems after surgery.
