Let me fill you in on what's been happening since last we spoke... yesterday I had some MRI's done as well as a bone scan. Next Friday (Jan 2nd) I will have a PET scan as well as some CT scans done. This will give all of us an idea of where the disease is and what steps we will take next. As soon as I know, I will post it here.
I caught a cold right after I got back from San Francisco, and it took me quite a while to recover. Two weeks ago, my tumor flared up something fierce and that knocked me for a loop. I haven't experienced that sort of pain for quite a while. I am pretty well recovered now (knock on wood).
The holiday season has been bittersweet for me. Quite frankly I am looking forward for 2008 to be over. This year pretty much sucked for me. However, all of my horoscopes say 2009 is supposed to be a highlight year... anything has got to be better then the year I just went through.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Hi Ben,
Looking forward to hearing about the results of the scans. Let's hope that 2009 is a better year for all of us.
As far as cancer research, I think you also might like to know that Harold Varmus, the president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering, a Nobel Prize laureate and an advocate of stem cell research, has been appointed one of Barack Obama's primary scientific advisers. We who work at MSKCC are very proud of this honor, not only for the institution, but for the likely advancement of, and attention to, the funding of science research in the new administration.
Come to NY and I'll make latkes and brisket for you, okay?
Love to you and your growing family,
Eileen * Ira
