    Hi there Friends,

    I just wanted to post and say hey and that I'm entering my 5th year of NED.  Celebrate with me!

    4 years ago when I was dx'd I was just starting my PhD and after dx I thought I would never finish.  Mel kicked me upside the head bad (and I think I went stupid for a year or so- it took me one year to finish a class).  But my school was fantastic to work with and let me finish things on my own schedule. Now my finishing worries are different as I still have to finish my dissertation, write comps, and pass my defense.  It's a good place to be. 

    This is also a good place to be.  Thanks friends and MRF for keeping the MPIP board up to date and both an encouraging and informative place.

    Peace,

    Julie
