Phyl:

Happy 2nd Anniversary to you and Iain!  ;D
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,
  Congratulations on the two year mark.  You're braved the unknowns of AN diagnosis and treatment, and come out stronger.  And helped many people along the way. Woo Hoo.  I hope you and the bloke can get out to celebrate.
Regards,

Thanks Captn... can I blame you for the remarriage?  Heck, you went through all of this stuff with me... the CK... the bloke proposal... the wedding... the immigration nightmare... the "OMG! He's cleared for USA arrival"... etc etc etc.... so, I can blame you, right? :)
