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.

Jeepers .....

So glad you have a date for your surgery.  It is usually much easier to have a specific timeframe.  Now you can go about planning and doing fun things pre-op and preparing for what you may need post-op.  Keep us posted.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Yes, I do  ;D  And you mean they don't  ???  ;)  :D

Congratulations, Jeepers!  I'll quote one of my favorite doctors here and say - "You'll be fine".

We'll all be thinking about you - and praying for you - on the 9th.  If you mention my name before they knock you out, they'll take extra good care of you - or they may ask you to tell a joke.  I'm not sure which ;)
