Good luck,

Hi All,

Thanks to Scarlett, Rich and Theresa for coming. Thanks to everyone on this forum for words of encouragement.  I hope to organize another meeting around June.  Thanks also to Phyl for everthing that you do.  See you at the luncheon.

Congratulations on a successful AN support group meeting and kudos to you for facilitating it!  I'll see you at the brunch on April 18th.  :)

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.
