Vivian ~

Thanks for your kind words and of course, a very happy New Year to you, too.  I think we've all earned it, one way or another.

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.

So many fond memories for both me and my caregiver Dave.
So many great laughs, great ideas, even recipes and books to read.

Vivian  :-*

thanks so much for the new years wishes.....

As I sit here, knowing 2009 has been (in my case) a very "mixed" year of good and not-so-good.... my hope is that 2010 is happy, HEALTHY, propserous year  for all my AN friends.... we all deserve nothing but goodness in our lives and may the new year bring it it you all in over-abundancy.

Happy new year all!

Happy New Year

I cannot believe how far I have come in 2009, and many thanks to many of you.

I was a newbie a the last year change and very scared.  Reading posts, learning and finding new research has helped so much. My small AN is more of a interesting path in my life (along with the bengin breast lumps which are the exact same size as the AN and the double entrapement ulnar nerves in my elbows - I am HEALTHY!).  I am a bit amused that such a healthy person (in my opinion) could have so many medical issues (minor in issue, thank goodness) crop up.  Alas, this AN has made me very patient and less fearful of the decisions to made over the next 2, 5 or 10+ years.  We shall simple wait and see. 

Otherwise, I would say I am very lucky and blessed with an a great husband, an amazing gang of kidlets (I will post new pictures on the blog soon if anyone is at all curious) and still employed (I work for a Wall Street investment bank that laid off massive amounts of people over the past year). 

Cheers to all of us in 2010.
