Thanks for adding me to the calendar, Jim.
  You're welcome.

Yes, I'm having translab surgery.
  I deduced correctly, then.

What other details would you like to know? 
  Nothing more than whatever you might wish to add.  I just didn't want to omit anything you would have wanted listed.     :)

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.

Carol Ann,
Glad to hear you got a date and felt comfortable with him.   The wait time isn't the easiest, but no matter who it's with we have to wait and that is not easy.

Assuming its at the Providence Park in Novi?   My hubby & I really liked that place.   Figure Dr. Pieper is neurosurgeon working with him?

Curious after our talk, did you ask about post op meds?   

Take care
Denise  ;D

Hi Denise.  Yes, it's at Providence Novi.  And yes, Dr. Daniel Pieper will be the neurosurgeon.  I did not ask about post-op meds.  It's on a list of questions I still have to ask.  Thanks for your support!  --Carol Ann

I did indeed have Dr Kartush.  He is a wonderful man, wonderful doc!  Nothing but the best experience.  I really liked Dr. Pieper as well.

Best of luck to you, keep me posted one your expereince with him.  He's such an interesting man! :)
