Looking good, Bren!

Looks like your incision is healing well.  Don't worry, if you really like that coif, I'm sure you can find someone to do it again!   :D

I love the pajama party picture!  So cute!  And what a nice idea.

Bren ~

Thanks for posting the photos....you're looking good.  Very encouraging and invaluable 'information' for newbies.  May your healing continue apace!

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.

The incision is healing beautifully and your hair has grown so fast before long you will not be able to see it at all amazing.

Oh goodie, pictures!

I like the concept of the half mullet. Perhaps there is a new fad here?

Best wishes for a continued good recovery.

Hey Bren, looking good....yeah, do you remember Cyndi Lauper when she had that sort of half mullet thing going on? I think you should bring back that look and start a new trend, then all of us AN'ers can blend in! :) lol.  Seriously, you do look good.  Thanks for posting the pics...the newbies will appreciate them as much as I did when I was at that stage! :)
