Gina, Glad to hear you took some time for yourself. Type A personality types have a hard time doing that.
My next visit at 53rd Street in NYC is November 6. I am really uneasy not having Dr. Kemeny keeping an eye on things. I know I will be in good hands, but I feel my security blanket is lost.
I am going to the dinner for her on October 26 in Bayonne, NJ run by one of her patients families that have raised over $1,000,000 for her research. It will be a celebration, but bittersweet. We have a group of stage 4 survivors who have done the walk and raised money for years ( I did it 13 years except for Covid.). We are a special group but it will probably be the last time we will be together.
If I have a good check up, I will be 15 years NED! Lots of surgery, chemo and radiation, more chemo, a liver pump , more chemo and 5 blockages, an Ostomy and hernia surgery. And add in a heart attack! Because of Dr. Kemeny, I was able to care for my husband who had pancreatic cancer. He loved her and she arranged the best doctors to care for him. He lived 3 years with pancreatic cancer, and we made memories.
I am looking forward to hearing about your “I am glad to be alive at 55 party.”
My next celebration is in honor of Jimmy Buffet. We went to a concert years ago.
I can so appreciate how you feel about Dr K’s retirement; but it occurs to me that she has healed you and then some. : )
So glad that your time with her led to health as well as connection. And I truly hope both continue!
I’ll be in NY for scans the week of 10/23, just ahead of you: will leave you stars waiting for your arrival. They’ll be by the coffee machine, which is finally working again. All the best to you, Kathy!
Buy the Alexander McQueen suit ❤️❤️

LOL this whole post was just a thinly veiled request for suit purchase validation. ; )
Knew I could count on you, Katie!
You can always count on me!!
