Dear Friends,
I have been enjoying beautiful late Fall weather in New York city with walks in Central Park where there are still some trees haloed in yellow leaves and walks around town where window shopping is at it's best with the Christmas windows. Highlights have been hot chocolate at the Celcius Cafe near the ice rink in Bryant Park where both sons, Mac and Harrison have art work hanging, pizza and a heart to heart with Mac, there was the glimpse of the Thanksgiving Day parade and a delicious, partially homemade dinner with Harrison.
Most of you know that I am in New York city to receive radiation infusion treatment for non-Hodgkins follicular lymphoma. There's been an element of "hurry up and wait" as there often is with medical issues. I have a few more tests next week and perhaps a pre-treatment necessary before I am approved for the RAI treatment tailored to target my cancer cells but they have scheduled me for the infusions on Dec. 6 and 13. During and for a few days following I am radioactive ( read super powers and responding to projected images in the night skyline ). It means I need to be isolated and this is perhaps the hardest part of the treatment: separation from family and friends.
The outpouring of love and concern has been overwhelming. I'm convinced that you have all laid the foundation to my recovery, you are my angels and my Heaven on Earth and I am forever moved.
I will post this first leg of this particular road trip, try to keep it updated and hope that you understand that it may be some time before I get back to all of you individually.
