Walt ~

Congratulations!  I agree, life is good!  :)

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.

Good to hear!  I hope I hear the same thing when I have my follow-up MRI in August...
3/25/13- dx 18x11x14 mm AN, hearing loss in right ear x 5+ years, 5 sessions of CK completed May 2013, now a "post toastie".  Follow up MRI 4/14/14 - 15x19x11 mm. Stable with some signs of necrosis.
 Yippee!

I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart ! This forum has been invaluable, and It's been a long hard road up to this point for me to be sure.  Part of the battle is won, but not the war ! I appear to be in the process of being something of a success story...currently !  To other's who have AN--keep your chin up...there is hope---absolutely !
