Well, this explains why I clicked on this subject today and streamers began shooting out of my computer and balloons started falling from the ceiling!

Hooray - a trip to sunny Boston.  How lucky are you??? (remember, sunny doesn't necessarily mean warm.. bundle up..)

WOW - it is a wonderful board especially when I see what goes on with nasty remarks and "cat" fighting on other boards.  We have our AN monitors and the wonderful people who post to thank!!!  ;D

I was hoping for a metal or an all expensed paid trip to Japan to see the Red Sox home opener (I tried that recently with our company CFO... he didn't go for it and he's from Japan!)

Congratulations Phyl. 

3,000 posts demonstrates an awesome amount of time and effort spent on helping AN patients via this site and it's forums.  Your dedication is appreciated.  :)

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.

Residing UK. In 'watch & wait' since diagnosis in March 2002 with right side AN. Initially sized at 2.5cm and now self reduced to 1.3cm.
All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.
