It is now October 6 and was wondering how you made out in the walk on the Boston Common in honor of your sister and for all the people who are battling or have battled cancer. No doubt there was a big crowd? A week-day might not work so well here, but then cancer does not time itself either, does it. It is great that you can walk, not only for your sister and other sufferers, but also to raise awareness of the disease being out there. So many of us take health for granted and do not even realize all the things the less fortunate are going through. Keep up the good work. Hi Byron.

I know several friends who were / are affected and mom passed away with a mild form of cancer (although she was just three months shy of 90). Keep up the great work and all the best. I hope you may enjoy your new place. You sure sounded enthusiastic about it. Bert Hey Byron, congratulations on pursuihg such a hreat but necessary project as cancer research.

The first year is always a nightmare. In my first year, I was also diagnosed with MAC and I was mortified. Now cured of MAC and three years into CML, I survive by reading my weekly updates from Google and keeping on top of what is happening with the disease. Hopefully in your blog you will encourage everyone to go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society website and sign up because they often send out e-mails so you can e-mail your congressmen and woman to urge them to vote for more funds for the research. Tell your sister to keep up the good fight. I know she will with kids. Have you contacted the University of Michigan? Last week or so they found possibly a gene that might cause Leukemia. This was important to me as my grandfather died with Leukemia, but it was so long ago that they didn't say what kind. Now I have grandkids and God forbid, I have passed it on. Where do you do research. My youngest daughter just left Boston Children's Hospital and moved back to Indy. I'll check with her to see if she knows you. Again, wish you sister well.
