Surgery rescheduled for 1/26/09
« on: December 08, 2008, 07:56:21 pm »
Hi,
My surgery has been rescheduled for 1/26.  A little bit sooner but I guess that's o.k.  At least it will be done, and I can go on to the recovery phase.  Trying to stay strong and focus on the upcoming holidays! I'm looking forward to 1/27 and being tumor free!  I've been dealing with AN's for a decade - and I'm only 35.  Time to get on with my life.

Amen to that!

Don't forget to put your surgery on the AN Calendar.  There's a link in Steve's (sgerrard's) signature block.

Jan
Retrosig 5/31/07 Drs. Battista & Kazan (Hinsdale, Illinois)
Left AN 3.0 cm (1.5 cm @ diagnosis 6 wks prior) SSD. BAHA implant 3/4/08 (Dr. Battista) Divino 6/4/08  BP100 4/2010 BAHA 5 8/2015

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Jen has a surgery coming up in 7 weeks, so I went ahead and moved her calendar entry to the 26th for her. She needs to get used to being waited on for a while. :)

Steve
8 mm left AN June 2007,  CK at Stanford Sept 2007.
Hearing lasted a while, but left side is deaf now.
Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.

JWH 
it is time to move on.  I am 2 1/2 weeks post op, moving slowly but looking forward to the New Year.  The best of luck to you and I will be thinking of you on that day.  Bell

Jen:

Sorry about the delay for your surgery but at least this gets you through the holidays without having to deal with being in a recuperative mode.  I trust you'll make the most of the time.  :)

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.
