First off, I could not ask for a better family. My parents are truly amazing.
I am proud to be able to say that they are my parents. Knowing that my father, and my paternal grandfather for that matter, ran into burning buildings each day to save others makes me proud to have the last name of Whyte. And my Mom, always taking care of T.J. and I as kids, and even now, as men, inspires me. Wish I could ship her to Belgrade to be my in-house cook!
And of course, there is the Chop, a.k.a., T.J. He is the best. Though he doesn't like it when I tell him to watch out for any rabid raccoons in Darien, I am sure pulling over soccer Moms in their BMWs ain't a bad gig either. Maybe we can trade spots for a bit. I'll ask Rob if he'd be willing to do a mid-season trade.
Just completed my second week of work in Belgrade. I am feeling fine health-wise and making progress work-wise. I had my blood drawn yesterday and the results were good, hence, I will start my second cycle of chemotherapy on Monday night - again, a 5 day cycle of Temodar pills.
I have an appointment with a neuro-oncologist in London - he has been recommended by Yale.
Alright, off to the races. Its Friday night, so need a night on the town.
Enjoy the weekend,

The Plane has Touched Down.......
I arrived back to Belgrade safely on Monday night, January 12th. Yesterday was my first day back to work in 4 months and it felt great after my mini-holiday. I was really excited to see everyone and I think the same can be said for the company as I was welcomed back with balloons on my desk and a cake in the afternoon.
Last night I attended the 20th anniversary party of the company on the top floor of our office tower - the 25th floor - which offers a superb view of Belgrade (its the tallest building in the region).
I will keep you abreast of my progress. I will be headed to London at the end of the month to meet an oncologist there. I was put in touch with him by Dr. Knisely, my radiation oncologist at Yale.
All the best for 2009,
Michael
