Brack Versus Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all. It's been a while since my last post and I wanted to catch you up on the past 6 months.

My second, post-chemo follow-up appointment with Dr. Seifter was on October 4. Everything is still going great and my blood counts are all back to normal. My lungs are back to full capacity - it feels so good to take a deep breath and hold it without coughing. I still have mild neuropathy in my feet and right pinky. Other than that, no issues at all. My next appointment is in a few weeks and I expect that will be just as good as the last.

Thank you for your continued support. Much love to you all.

Below are a few "getting back to normal" photos since my last post.

We are all together for Christmas today and life couldn't be better...

Merry Christmas

Merrier Christmas!

We spent Thanksgiving at the beach - there is much to be thankful for...

Happy Thanksgiving

In August Alison and Jen raced in the Iron Girl Sprint Triathlon and both got personal bests and placed 7th overall as a mother-daughter team. Best of all they raised over $4000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in my name...

In July, ML and Jimmy C. hosted Sean P., Griff, and me for our first Jugfest weekend of golf, baseball, fine wine and a great steak. We took in a Yankees game on a rainy Friday night, the same night Derek Jeter came back from injured reserve (he didn't play on the slop). We got to see Mariano Rivera (Enter Sandman) close out the Twins for the 30th save of his final season. It was a long game due to several rain delays. The good news is when you have the best seats in the house and access to the Legends Suite it's just fine if the game goes past midnight. On Saturday we went into Manhattan for some good wine at Amuse. Pick joined up with us and we walked over the Williamsburg Bridge into Brooklyn where Rodney and his son Jack also met up with us. We and had some fine steaks, more excellent wine and laughed for 3 hours straight. As you can see in the photo below, we closed down Peter Luger's Steakhouse after one of those meals you never forget.
