long absence

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I haven't been to this group for quite a long time. Just to say

hello. Gleevec, 600 mg, seems to be working for me though I'm not in

complete remission. I continue to work parttime, and take care of the

rest of life, including three little ones, cats that is, MJHodor

Hi MJ!

Gosh, it's really been a long time. So glad you dont have complications this

time and that 600 mg seems to be working. The simpler the better. I'm on

Sprycel and non-detectable. It shoudn't come back. Working part-time in a

family law firm as a receptionist part-time -- 25 hours a week. I'm starting a

few classes in Development in the middle of this month at The Foundation Center

in DC. That will help me brush up on my grant writing, etc skills and I'm

adding a class on international non-profits. We have a lot here and I do have a

particular interest in developing countries and the areas with crushing poverty

constant wars, desperate health needs.

I'm volunteering as a liaison to the EWmbassy of India for The Hospitality and

Information Society. It was created by the State Department. I'm just starting

my India assignment which is very exciting. I was first assigned to Botswana

but they just didn't seem interested in our program which is free to them and

introduces them to Washington, helps with conversation groups so they learn some

English or they can have groups in their own language. Lots of social events

and visiting historical sites, too. Anyway, I have a poarticular interest in

India so I'm eager to get started.

My cats are fine and great company.

Stay well and in touch with your friend in Virginia.

Love,

L
