This Week 8/8/10 in the AN Calendar World
« on: August 09, 2010, 11:44:57 am »
Congratulations (ANinMiami) as one of our newest Posties, following your mid-July middle fossa surgery.  We hope you have a speedy recovery.

We have some great MRI results from 4 of our W&W forumites to celebrate:

BigSister’s (BigSister) recent MRI results revealed “no change”.

Glen’s (G_Man) 7/29 MRI was done on a new machine, and the results where so close to the previous MRI results, that they believe the slight difference to be machine related, which also means “no change”.

Lauren’s (AIteach) recent MRI has also revealed “the tumor has not grown”.

Guitarmn50’s (Guitarmn50) MRI also had “no growth”.

Congratulations to you all :) :)

THIS WEEK:

Monday 8/9 JO (tenai98) is having an MRI.
Tuesday 8/10 Patrick (texsooner) will have his second annual MRI.
Friday 8/13 Sdw (sdw79) is having middle fossa surgery.

We will keep each of you in our thoughts and prayers that the surgery is a complete success, without complication, that your recovery is swift, and that the MRIs come back with great results.

Wednesday 8/11 Patrick will celebrate 2 years since his retrosigmoid surgery.
Happy Anniversary Patrick 8)   You have truly been an inspiration, showing everyone that life does go on after AN surgery.

Donnalynn (donnalynn) has recently talked to Kathy (Kathy M) on the phone.  Kathy is still receiving radiation treatments as she continues her battle with breast cancer.  She is working 30 hours a week, and appears to be doing very well.  Thank you Donnalynn ;)

Kathy you are such a fighter, we continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers that you will be victorious.

For everyone on the recovery road, we hope each day gets a little better.

Have a great week everyone,

Rich & Scarlett

Rich & Scarlett ~

Thanks for a comprehensive weekly update, as we've come to expect.  Lots of good news and things to hope/pray for as well as congratulate.  We're a busy bunch!  :)

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.
