Phyl,
What do you think if I brought along some name tags? I don't know about anyone else but I have always been terrible with names and after two surgeries and radiation, well, need I say more........

Looking forward to the 9th!

Jane:

You need not say more.  :)

I'm all for name tags because I don't know the faces all that well and remembering the names of 15 to 20 different people is not realistic - for me, anyway.

I'm looking forward to November 9th, too! 

Just have my name-tag read:

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.

Everyone who goes to the symposium receives your name badge and where you are from as part of your symposium info.  There will be a bag for a place to keep all your papers in also.   The name badge is worn around the neck on a chain or string type thing.     I can't remember what it is unless I go dig one out.     You can write then your forum name if need be yourself on it since some do not go by their real name.

Jane/Jim/Cheryl... sounds like a terrific idea.

Jane, you want to do them or me?  Maybe even put a BoSox emblem or Pirate Skull/Cross bones or a pic of an ear or ? :)

Hello.
I would love to come. It will be first time to meet everyone. I'm fairly new to the lumpy, bumpy, "their lips are moving and I can hear the words but what in the heck was it that they just said"  ;D world of ANs.  I found out in March that I had one and spent the summer in denial until my 2nd MRI last week showed that it was growing. 

I live in the Hartford area and would be going down 84.  Anyone else traveling my way?
