Today I’m celebrating my 3 year ANniversary!
« on: March 18, 2012, 10:39:08 am »
Today I’m celebrating my 3 year ANniversary! Although I’m not posting all that much on the ANA site, I do still consider the people here to be like family to me. If it wasn’t for this forum, I surely would have gone mad trying to deal with all there is in processing a diagnosis of having a tumor in your head, and sifting through all the procedures involved with dealing with an AN. Thank you for being here. Now, I guess it’s time to book my next MRI and follow-up appointment.
I wish all the new members well in their journey. Have faith that your decision will be will be the right one for you and even though it may take a little time and some patience, there is life after an AN and you will settle into your “new normal”.

Best wishes to everyone  :-*,

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.
