Will any of you be at 53rd st. the first week of October from the 3rd til the 10th? My trip is coming up then for scans, etc. if anyone would like to plan a get-together, coffee, greeting in the waiting area, etc. All the best to each of you on the journey,

Darn, I will be there the week before. It would be fun to all meet up. If I decide to participate in her study, I will be getting all my chemo in NYC and will be there every couple of weeks... otherwise every 5.
Let's all keep trying. I like this thread "Nancy's Kids" as it is good place to check in.

Best of luck next week!

It's great that I may be seeing some of you but I'm disappointed that others of you will not cross my path this time...maybe next time for sure. Yes juliej, Sandy still sings "hey, hey, Paula...." LOL, and I was gonna give her a hard time about that hurricane being named after her, but right afterward she went on vacation :wink: On another note, I hope some of you who are waiting to hear from the wonderful, beautiful Dr. K eventually get her acceptance :D You will surely be cared for superbly, in my humble opinion. Well, I'm here to tell you 3 and 1/2 years later (NED) that I have been blessed as her patient and am grateful for every day, every minute with a great quality of life too. love to all,

Wanted to make sure you got your song! :D I saw Sandy a few weeks after the storm and asked how many comments she had received about her name being the same as the storm. She said "countless" and laughed. I told her that she and the hurricane were both forces of nature! :D

I'll be there on Sept. 25 for my consult (scan on Sept. 23 in Basking Ridge), en route to Louisiana for a meeting. Then, off to Finland on Oct. 8 for another business junket. Too busy to be sick. Sorry to miss everyone (again).

I saw Sandy two days after the storm. I said, "I heard you blew into town the other day."

My husband will be there on the 25th also! Before cancer he was a marathon runner. He is not allowed to run with the HAI pump so he has tried the bike thing a bit. Maybe Eric can give him a few pointers! :)

OK so most of you have appointments this coming week or before Thursday the following week... I believe some of our newest members of the 53rd street gang do have appointments around the 3rd to the 16th, right? Celeste? Melanie (Sandy gma), maybe others? Maybe we can meet up at some point...what a great season to be in New York City; season of hope with the beautiful Dr. K, right?

So-Scared, I never heard that about running. I have a pump and nobody said anything to me about that. I sometimes like to jog for just a couple of miles. Was there any other kind of exercise your husband was banned from?

Paula,
I will be there on the 25th and, if I decide to go ahead with Dr. K's study, on the 9th as well. Otherwise not till 10/30.

I'll be there late october for pump maintenance. As to the running, I was never told not to. Obviously you have to give time for things to heal up right before you do any exercise. I have run more miles in the last three years than I had in the past 10, I credit exercise greatly with my being healthy. Keep on sweatin' is good for you!
