Friends,

I came across this piece of paper listing the names of our top nemises', our enemies! I am wondering what happened to all of them , I am certain of one thing DEAD IRV is still dead.

Here 's a complete list:

1. DEAD IRV irradiated 6/11/12

2. Alvin

3. brain booger

4.Bob (kill Bob)

5.Herman (Tom)

6. Gonzo

7. Quatto

8. Bennie

9. Itsy & Bitsy

10. Freddy

11.My little visitor

12. the hitchhiker

13. Ethel

14. Lucy

 As it says above feel free to add yours as it helps vastly before treatment to shrink it down in your minds eye. (for newbies and watch and waiters especially!)

Good luck!!!! Collective Death to the things we thought we had NO control over! If you wish it, it is in your power to make it so!

Guys,

How about for you newbies in honor of the 2013 Blizzard of the same name~~NEMO. You remember the Disney movie by the same name~ the little clown fish?

 Can you think of any others?

 Trying to inspire your confidence to conquer this, if we think about it, that's the first step to the often ardous, tediuos process of elimination of our collective nemises!

I'm a big fan of the BBC miniseries Sherlock, and I've decided that if I ever decide to name my neuroma, it will be called Moriarty. The name of a such crazy nemesis seems befitting of the thing that's causing by far the craziest twist in my life!

So geeky, but it feels oh so right lol.
Diagnosed on April 20, 2012 at age 23 with a 3mm acoustic neuroma in the left internal auditory canal

Good choice Nicole!

I wish you the best of luck in defeating Moriarity! You seem to have captured the spirit of this! Congratulations!

 It is after all to visualize it, then to make it smaller or eliminate your AN altogether!

Tina was removed in 1990....she tried to regrow but got knifed again and as far as I know that's the end of her!
1st AN surgery @ age 23, 16 hours
Loss of 7-10th nerves
mulitple "plastic" repairs to compensate for effects of 7th nerve loss
tumor regrowth, monitored for a few years then surgically removed @ age 38 (of my choice, not medically necessary yet)

taway FRIENDS,

Keep them insignigant, small and powerless over ouur lives!  I am glad to see that you have mastered this one aspect of meditation.

Mind control. Things that are bothering us in our lives have a way of looming large until we step back and control them.

Success!
