Big day at UCSF
Wednesdays are UCSF days - our chemotherapy is on alternate Wednesdays, as is physical rehab. Every 6 weeks we go for a MRI, followed by consults with our neuro-oncologists who then decide what the next course of therapy will be (the normal answer: more chemo).
Today is especially full: I have a 9:30 with physical rehab […]
A quiet moment
The midday sun streams into our suite at Hotel Drisco in San Francisco. After yesterday’s landmark walk, I worked out for 45 minutes at UCSF’s Millberry Center this morning, and returned to our room to find this charming display of light and shadow. Another very pretty - and warm - day in San Francisco…
Beautiful day in San Francisco
Here’s Twin Peaks as seen from Hotel Drisco in the Pacific Heights section of San Francisco. After chemo at Mt. Zion Cancer Center this morning, I walked 14 blocks to lunch at Vivande, on Fillmore, with Linda and friend and former classmate Dr. Stuart Rosenberg. The walk, which took an hour and ten minutes and […]
A meeting of cultures
So, we’ve begun working out at the Palo Alto YMCA, another small step forward in our physical rehab. A side benefit of the workouts is that Fry’s is across the street. My pent up desires to walk the aisles of the legendary Palo Alto store have finally been given vent now that I can drive […]

Won’t bore you with the details, but a new commitment to walking for 40 minutes every day (on top of our A.M. exercise regimen), the usual household chores, shopping […]
Exhausted
Today was UCSF ‘workout Wednesday’ with a twist… I’m starting a Cybex machine regimen to help strengthen my right (’normal’) side. As my natural steroid production returns, my therapist wants to increase my strength - so now I have programs for both the left, neuronally-challenged and right, steroid-weakened sides. I took a nap afterwards and […]

UCSF day
Blogging is a bit sparse today: been up to UCSF for physical rehab. I’m exhausted…
Cushing’s Syndrome
So, we’ve had a cold for a couple of days, and have used the opportunity of being more or less flat on our back to do a little health research (love that WiFi). The pictures above show the evolution of my mug over the past 18 months or so, during 12 of which I’ve […]
