Good luck tomorrow Tweety!  I just had surgery in April and am doing great.  It was a long 6 week recovery, but well worth it.  Once it's out, your mind will feel better.
Please keep us posted as we all will be excited and anxious to hear how you make out.
God Bless!

Tweety ~

Thanks for the update!  Getting discharged from the hospital 4 days post-op indicates an excellent surgical outcome...congratulations!  Rest and post when you're up to it.  We'll be here.  :)

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.

Tweety,
You have given me encouragement for my surgery which is set for July 7th. I pray that you will continue to heal quickly and that you will be out and about soon.
Best wishes,
