Amma's birthday!

Today was a special day. My mother’s birthday! The family decided to take her out on a special dinner to a new sea food restaurant called the Fisherman’s fare. It’s a great place, but a bit far out on the highway to Madras and takes about 40min to get there! Anne baked a chocolate cake and Tripti got some of Amma’s favorite flowers. Here is a picture of me carefully watching Amma cut her cake, with her flowers in the foreground.
There was a call from hospital; my radiation may take another day to get started. Dr. Subhashini was concerned that too much lung was exposed on the proposed plan and wanted to make some modifications to the dosage plan.
I went over to hospital yesterday evening to make some modifications on the research plan for my Cochrane protocol with Prof. Keighley. It’s been quite a while since I have done anything on it, but now all the excitement of PET scan and radiation planning are over I must get back to work on it!

Dear Tarun,

As the song goes "From a distance ...." all three young girls posing with you look equally stunning and lithe of limb and form.

Appa must have been the cameraman, right?

I am sure my sis had a super time altogether at the Fisherman's.

Love,

Lizzie amama

Hi Tarun,

First time I hav come across your blog. It is very interesting read. I would be lying if I say I know what you are going through. Stay positive and hang in there. Pray through St. Antony. He works miracles. Believe me when I say that.
