Halfway Through Radiation Treatment

As of tomorrow, I will be halfway through radiation. It will be good to have it over with. I am fortunate to be able to have it done in Dartmouth, near where we spend the summer, although so far, the kids have been elsewhere. They both attended an Overland trip to Yellowstone Park, which was quite spectacular. Now, they are both going to a camp at Concord Academy, which will finish tomorrow. Then Bill will come down and stay with all of us for 4 days.
Bill and I have started a fund at Dana Farber, which will fund ovarian cancer research undertaken by my doctor, Dr. Ursula Matulonis. Since I am not riding in the PMC this year, we would welcome gifts to the fund to add to ours. It has become a priority for the Women's Cancer Center to fund GYN research, which has not received as much attention as breast cancer research. Also friends of ours, Heidi and Vaughn Harring are doing the ride. I urge you to consider supporting them in their efforts to raise funds for Dana Farber.
If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me. Dana Farber has been very good to me in my continuing fight against ovarian cancer.
