Hey, Doc ~

Good to see you back!  Most of us are doing well or at least coping well, to be more precise.  How about you?

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.

All good here Jim...hope time has been kind to you! I'm quickly coming up on two years since they plucked that nasty AN from my head. No worse for wear I guess...sure beats the alternative! Still nursing a bum eye and balance issues, but I've gotten so used to things, like yourself, I press on and do the best I can with the hand I've been dealt...oh well...life is outstanding I'd say!

You take care!

Hey, Doc...good to "see" you!  Glad to know things are well for you (with your new normal ;) ).  Hope to see you at another meeting sometime...next one is scheduled for Jul 23 - same time and place!

PS - My son is going to Japan in Aug for two semesters of school - a university in Nagoya.  Hope all of your wife's family is ok after all the tragedies over there...
