Thanks, Rich.  Good job, as always.

Congratulations to Debbi, Kathy, Dave, Chris and Lisa on their excellent MRI reports!  :)  I trust that Vivian's MRI will have equally positive (no-growth) results.

Congratulations to Sue as she closes in on her BAHA 'Gotcha' Day (5/5).  I know this will make a positive difference for her.

Happy second ANniversary to my cohort, Brian and of course, a Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's on our roster.  I'm sure a great week lies ahead for all of us.

Jim

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.

Thanks for posting it Rich, and thanks to Erin and Jim...  I appreciate is so much.

Congratulations to Debbi, Kathy, Dave, Chris and Lisa for the MRI results!  I'm confident Vivian won't have anything negative to report either..

I'm interested in your thoughts when you get your BAHA, Sue...

Regards,

SSD right. Tinnitus big-time, only when thinking of it.
BAHA since 7/20/10 ... really helps w/ hearing, specially after programming in subliminal message: "Hey, don't listen to your tinnitus!"

haha, greg! and congrats on your BAHA surgery! (i'm just catching up on 3 weeks of reading).

Thank you, Rich, again for the faithful and informative posts. I'm now reading posts from mid/ late April and this week's. I just havne't been around too much lately, but have been wondering how everyone is doing. Now that I'm sitting at O'hare for 3 hours, I'm trying to catch up (i better watch the time; don't want to miss my flight).
Scarlett - happy one year and i do hope and pray that your headaches are better (i know that  your one year was posted a week or two ago).
Sorry I'm so late!

I hope everyone on here has a successful surgery, treatment or recovery. That sounds so vague, and like a 'blanket' of well wishes, but it is not that way. I'm just afraid my battery's going to go soon!

Have a good week everyone. It's good to be back and seeing how everyone is doing.
