Dear all,
On Feb 2nd, I met Dr. Steven Zarny, the radiation oncologist at JFK, who will lead my radiation therapy. He studied my case to decide the next steps.

I will be going through Image Guided Radiation Therapy which will require that a mask be made of my head to ensure precise targeting of the tumor. He will meet me again on Thursday, Feb 4th to start preparation of the mask. After the mask is prepared, the dosage, frequency and pattern of radiation will be determined per protocol and approved by the doctor. This planning stage will take about one week. So, radiation is expected to begin around Feb, 11th at the earliest.
In the meanwhile, I will meet Dr. Joseph Landolfi, the leading neuro oncologist at JFK who will supervise my entire treatment, including chemotherapy.

My symptoms of dizziness and double peripheral vision persist. I am able to eat, talk, think well and my memory, comprehension and cognizance is also fairly intact. However, I have trouble maintaining balance when I walk. I am currently using a walker for support.
It has been extremely heart warming and gratifying to see so many blessings and wishes pouring from family, friends and colleagues at work. It makes life worth living!
Please continue to keep me in your prayers and blessings.
Yours,
Hasit
