Hi Everyone,
My friend and colleague Margaret Walker in the School of Music is participating this year in Queen's Cuts for Cancer. She is donating her long, lovely hair on behalf of everyone in our department who recently has been touched by cancer (this includes myself, Karen Frederickson and, I just learned, Istvan Anhalt, a retired composer from the School of Music who is now in palliative care at the Kingston General Hospital). If anyone would like more information on the event, please go to:http://www.qhha.ca/cuts/
Thanks, Meg.
I'm holding up, tired, a bit swollen, red, but, as Catherine reminded me, today I "break the back" of this week. The burn increases on the left side and up through the neck area (they are radiating the lymph area of the neck as well just to be sure). Yesterday the technicians showed me all of the computerized images of where they are radiating, where the beams are directed, etc. Talk about looking like a cyborg, and it would be totally fascinating if it just weren't my body. Best not to think about what's happening in there...
Much love,
Kip
Almost done. The days are getting so long now --- almost spring, almost finished! You've broken the back of this whole long haul, just in time for snowdrops. lots of love, ml
