Back from the doc - one year check-up
« on: May 05, 2006, 09:55:46 am »
I'M ALL GOOD!  ;D  TUMOR FREE!  He said everything looks perfect and I'm a young healthy guy with nothing wrong.  It felt great to hear him say that.  I go back for my next MRI in three years.  The Doc told me to forget about him and this whole AN ordeal until I see him again.  I think I finally have closure to this whole experience, it was one hell of a ride this past year.  I just wanted to share my good news!  Time for some margaritas tonight!

Raising my glass (cup of tea) to you with congratulations! 

I remember my first post-op MRI and was told it was clear, I was floating on air for days. Such an awesome feeling!
