One Week Ago ...........
Our traveling buddy has flown the coop - back at his desk, where he belongs!!! Great visit, looks pretty good - enjoying life - obviously ate well - did leave some good wine at home for us, wasn;t that thoughtful ?? Figures another 6, 7 months and he might return - guess the accommodations suited him - we're ready whenever he is - really good to see him - but can;t let that go to his head!! Take good care Michael - the door is ALWAYS open ...... Love, Doe, Doules & T!!!

MRI Results & Update (and some wine!)
Greetings from the West Coast of California. I meant to post sooner with my results from my most recent MRI and lab-work. I arrived home to Connecticut safe and sound on Saturday, June 6th. My excellent chauffeur T.J. was waiting for me at the British Airways terminal at JFK. On Monday, June 8th, I went to Yale in the morning for my MRI and some lab-work. The following day, June 9th, I went back to Yale to meet with my medical oncologist for the results and discussion of next steps.
The Good News: the scan looked very good. There is NO re-growth of the tumor and my doctor is quite pleased with the scan. As a precautionary measure she wants to keep me on six more months of chemotherapy. She originally stated I would be on chemo for at least 6 months if not one year. In my mind - a small price to pay!
On Wednesday, June 10th, we left for California. T.J. and I decided to take Joe & Gail out to San Francisco, their favorite city, for a week of family time. Figure we'd hit Sonoma & Napa Valley, catch a Giants baseball game, and enjoy some fine food. So far, so good, enjoying S.F. and all the offerings.
I head back to Europe next Sunday, the 21st of June. In the interim, will enjoy my time off and with the family.
To each of you, my best, as always,
Mike
