I Got A Little Homesick...
I'm back in California until January 9th... I've had two treatments and they've gone fairly well. Outside of some severe bouts of nausea I'm doing okay. On Monday, January 10th, I have a PET scan; this should provide my doctors with some indication how I'm responding to the different medications they're giving me. My schedule is fairly simple, every Monday, I see my doctors, the next day, Tuesday, I receive treatment and then every couple of weeks they draw blood from me everyday.
On New Years Day, I moved to New Jersey, my father's employer Honeywell has allowed me to live in corporate housing for the next six months. Honeywell's corporate headquarters are in Morris Township, New Jersey and I'm living in a little town called Madison a few miles away. This town is so quiet and beautiful; the townhouse has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private gym, and attached garage... It's unbelievable.
On treatment days, I take a taxi to the train station, followed by a forty-minute train ride into Penn Station. Penn Station is right below Madison Square Garden (literally) and ten blocks from Time Square. It takes about twelve minutes to get to Sloan Kettering by cab from Penn Station. I've learned that the cost of transportation in New York City is very expensive. Early next week, my car is going to arrive, this will eliminate the cost of taxi's to the train station, market, pharmacy, etc. I also purchased an unlimited monthly train pass to Penn Station. Hopefully, this will reduce some of these expenses.
Next week, I'm going to meet with Kim Holland; she has really been an inspiration to me. She's battled Hodgkin's Disease for ten years; she's a courageous woman whose story is very inspiring. Kim left her web address in my guest book. If you have a moment, visit her website.
Thank you all again,
Alese
Ps- I have so many pictures to share with you all, I'm still waiting on my computer to land- thanks for your patience.
