Hi, Reg:

Thanks for updating us with the good MRI news.  Considering all the complications you've endured, you deserve this.  Things do improve but never on our timetable, it seems.

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.

Wow, Reg!  Life is good  ;D

Congrats on the clean MRI.  I know lots of docs have different protocols.  When do you have to go for your next one?  Do you get a break for a few years now? or do you still need them annually?

Have fun at the meeting.
