Tara's in our thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery, as is Denise for a clean MRI.

Sara, so sorry for your loss.  It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate this week.  Good luck to your daughter and her team.

Liz, good luck tomorrow for a successful surgery.  We'll be praying for you.  There has been a good run of success stories.

Happy birthday David, hope the shots don't ruin your day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID! 
I remember you stating last year that my surgery was on the same date as your B-Day, so I will always think of you when I have my anniversary!  I was just going under about now, after doing taxes till 4AM, slept like a baby then 'till 9:40 PM when I awoke to nurse Crachett and a changed world!  Memories. 
Have a great lunch; I don't know what encouraging words to give 'bout the botox!?
Best,
Jules

Hey, David...Happy Birthday to you!  I really hope it's a memorable day for you and of course, that you enjoy many more birthdays, just as I intend to do.  ;)

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.

Hey Everyone

Thank you for all the birthday wishes!  It was excellent.  My daughter treated me to lunch at an outstanding Greek restaurant and we drank a lot of wine.  So when I went for my Botox shots -- they didn't seem to quite hurt as much ;D.  But it's over with and I'll see how well I do with the second round.

Thanks again.
