Quite an honor.  Massachusetts General beat out the venerable Johns Hopkins that had held the top spot for 22 years.  Impressive - and certainly comforting for those who have been patients at MGH or plan to have their AN surgery/radiation performed at that facility.  Thanks for passing on the news.

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.

Definitely an honor for MA General.  We are fortunate to have a hospital of this caliber in our state.
