A good scan


Just hung up the phone with my radiation oncologist, Dr. Gillis. Monday's MRI showed that the bits of mass that remained in my brain after the last surgery have gotten much smaller since the cyberknife treatments and no new masses have formed.

Couldn't ask for more than that. Other than the congestion I am still having from allergies, I feel very good. I'm enjoying my printmaking class, and I find that I'm able to drink again, as well as go out at night, so things are more normal than they've been for months. Saturday, I went out to dinner and on to a concert of chamber music. Last night, I went to see John Waters interviewed at the Jewish Community Center and had a late supper at Sociale.

Onward. Another MRI in 3 months.

  1. In my mind is the song from Wicked "Couldn't be happier..." so know that I'll be singing it "the whole day through" (You'll get all of these phrases if you've seen Wicked 4 times like I have! :-) Thanks again for taking the girls to see it in NYC...you remain an AWESOME uncle and friend in so many ways. Love always, me
