Hi everyone,
Syed has officially completed all his treatments. When Linda took him for his checkup this week, the doctor felt that no additional treatments were needed. He will be meeting with the doctor again in February for a follow up visit.
You might wonder, is Syed in remission? We will get final confirmation in February but I think it is safe to say that he is. Remember, Syed went through chemo treatments as a precautionary measure. The conclusion of the biopsy following his colon surgery was that the cancer had not spread and was pretty much contained to the tumor itself.
So what is Syed going to do with his time now? First and foremost, he will focus on rebuilding himself from the inside out. As many of you know, chemo can compromise the immune system, organ function, and the body overall. Hence, he’s improving his diet to strengthen himself and improve his stamina.
Thank you all for your support. Happy Holidays to everyone. Be safe, healthy, and of course, smile and laugh throughout every day.

This makes a Happy Chanukah happier still.
So much negativity in the world right now; this and a few other things provide some balance, some equilibrium.
I was so very pleased to meet Syed when he was in New York.
His lovely soulfulness and intelligent benevolence are now a part of my life.
