Ten months today
« on: April 02, 2009, 10:39:29 am »
I just realized that it is the second of April, which means that my surgery was ten months ago today. As soon as the kids get home from school I will have one of them take an updated picture to post. There has been quite a bit of improvement lately, at least in my appearance at rest.

Sara ~

Recovering AN patients all count the months post-surgery and 10 is good number, especially when you're seeing improvement.  Congratulations!  :)

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.

I'm so happy for you. I've been keeping you in my prayers lately especially with the death in the family.
