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.

Yes, Thanks for posting it. I found it quite interesting.

Especially the bit explaining why there used to be 95% fatality rate for surgeries on larger tumors: ‎"in the old days, with a large tumor against the brainstem, the neurosurgeon would actually go in and scoop out the tumor with his finger."

I'm glad it is not the old days.  :)
