What a journey.....
« on: May 25, 2010, 04:08:25 pm »
What a journey this whole AN situation has been for me...  Dealing with this for at least 12 years was certainly unexpected.  It has changed me as a person and I would hope for the better.  I've run across wonderful people like you on this forum and have become a stronger person.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could face having not one brain tumor but two! Like many of us, my journey continues as we check yearly to make sure that there are no signs of regrowth.  God bless everyone who knows or deals with this condition!
5/01  1.3 AN removed at NYU using Retrosig. Approach
2/07  Rediagnosed with Regrowth 8 mm (wait & watch mode)
1/09  1.4 AN removed at NYU using Translab (total tumor removal)

Hi,
