Wow!  Thank you, Kay!  The story I wrote for the ANA Newsletter a few years back grew into a book.  And the Forum gets frequent praise in it.

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.

Phyl -

David also had his surgery @ HEI, and they are sponsoring the symposium.  So there's an additional tie-in.
