Mystery solved
Christine, I was delighted to hear your good news. As I typed at home, I kept wondering who Christine was. Now I find out you are the founder of this site and the other half of Joe. I could never quite put all the personal "threads" together. So for me the mystery is solved. And even much better, I learned that you are a tough cookie. Thanks for helping all of us. I appreciate your dedication and wisdom in getting this site going. I feel blessed to be apart of this great group of people.
Hugs to all and to all a Good Night,
Catherine in Oregon

Christine,
Thank you for your update. I am so happy to know the procedure went well, and that your are feeling well too. I am also confident that you are going to be fine, and that soon you will be NED again. I am here praying for you and for great scan results.
I just had a brain MRI 2 weeks ago. My doctor says that he only order brain MRI if there are symptoms. So, if I do not have symptoms (generally I have them), I fake them, and I get my MRI. We do not want to wait for symptoms, do we?
Thanks Christine and Joe for this wonderful and very informative site that has been helping me so much, since April 2005, to keep my sanity and give me hope. I am Stage IV with liver and lungs mets. God bless both of you.
Karla.

hi Christine--
I am so sorry that it has taken me this long to hear about your brain situation! I am over my head with my Masters classes in addition to work and family, and I haven't been visiting this site too much. I sincerely hope to change that--I really need you all!
It seems like you have things under control, but please keep us posted. My thoughts are with you!!!
Love,
Val

Christine, glad to hear you are doing well. So glad that you are on top of things and it was caught on early.
You have been a big source of strength for me since I underwent my own SRS procedure in Jan 06, Thanks for all you do for us.
