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.

Hi everyone, this is the Portland ANA group learning how to use the forum.

Hi, Portland ANA Group!  You're doing just fine.  Steve is a good teacher!  :)

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.

Would love to get to the next one.
Can you PM me?
I live near Tacoma, WA actually.

We DID have someone else from Tacoma come... who thinks she is the only one out there...

I will speak with my "ANA leader people"   ;D and see if we can connect you to each other.  This way you can carpool and have someone to talk to on the way down to Portland...

The next one is a "sharing and Caring" meeting in September - watch this link for updates

Thanks! Is this person from Tacoma the one who recently had surgery at Madigan? Or is it someone else?
