Steve's letter in 'Notes'
« on: June 10, 2009, 11:39:40 am »
Just a heads-up that our own Steve Gerrard has a letter published in the current edition of the ANA newsletter 'Notes'  It's the first letter and is under the heading: 'Radiation and On-going Symptoms'.  It's quite interesting, as you would expect.  Kudos to Steve!  :)

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.

I read it yesterday - and I also thought that's OUR Steve.

Kind of like knowing a celebrity  ;)  Nice contribution to the newsletter, Steve.

Where do you find the time?  Posting and moderating on the forum, knitting hats, writing letters?  Do you ever sleep?  ;)

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

Thanks for your kind words.

I should sheepishly confess that Judy Vitucci did some nudging on this one. One of her qualifications for being the Director is strong elbows!  ;)

Steve -

Judy's one of the ANA's best assets; glad she nudged you along.
