JW ~

It's encouraging to see a local football team unite behind raising money/awareness for acoustic neuroma because a teammate had an AN and was forced to end his football career.  The publicity certainly is welcome.  I hope the event is a great success.

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.
