DLM4me's Update
« on: April 08, 2009, 08:48:50 pm »
Hi All,

I got a message from DLM4me's husband about 5 PM today. He hadn't been in to see her yet, but had just spoken to the doctors and wanted to give us a quick update. The docs said the surgery went well (yeah!) and he'd be able to go in and visit her in about an hour. I'll post again as soon as I hear any more news.

Congrats DLM4me - we're sending lots of healing vibes your way!

Thankful for another safe arrival in Postie-ville,

Nancy L

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.
