Well just received the call my sixth embolization is scheduled for Setember 28th. This will not be my last but one more step in the fight to hopefully oblietate this AVM of mine. As I look back I realized what a wonderful life I have even having to deal with my AVM since I was eleven. Yes I have gone through alot of pain and struggles but am so grateful for what I have, two wonderful children, four precious grandchildren, a very supportive family and most of all my wonderful loving husband who has been by my side for the past 28 years. My fight to try and obliterate my AVM started seven years ago, I had five embos and two radiations so far and know more embos and radiation to go but having my friends here on this site has given me so much support and has helped me think more of the positive than the negative and I could not thank you enough. Each of us have a different journey and know with the love, support, positive thinking and the will power we will succeed. Even if they are unable to obliterate mine I know I have met alot of good dear friends and learned a vauable lesson in life "Live each day happy and cherish what you have". OK getting a little muchie lol but anyway just wanted everyone to know stay strong and never give up! I won't!

Lee Ann, I love this post. Such a great way to show all of the wonderful things that still exist in our lives despite those three little letters. Your story of friends, family, living, fighting, and continuing on your journey is one that shows the true spirit of this message board, of the SURVIVOR!
