HERE is the link to the newly published iMac and iWeb version of MyJournal blog, my account of the events and times since my March 2006 diagnosis with mantle cell lymphoma. As we approach Christmas 2009, Dee Dee and I are excited to report that we are officially back in remission (a second time) thanks to the TomoTherapy radiation in September at City of Hope. We continue with our 6-month medical leave until March 1 and we are due to start two forms on infusion in January. Both are detailed in the links below. According to my COH doctors, the combination of these will boost my immune system and keep the cancer at bay. Since my medical leave began at the end of August, we have also enjoyed freedom from the constant respiratory and bronchial issues that marked the last year.

After an unexpected delay, I was finally able to get m clippe...

My late husband, Ted Kennedy, was passionate about health-care reform. It was the cause of his life. He believed that health care for all our citizens was a fundamental right, not a privilege, and that this year the stars -- and competing interests -- were finally aligned to allow our nation to move forward with fundamental reform. He believed that health-care reform was essential to the financial stability of our nation's working families and of our economy as a whole. @lta | Ted Kennedy http://nytimes.twi.bz/ld @lta | Victoria Kennedy http://google.twi.bz/xs clipped from altaloman.amplify.com Victoria Kennedy on ‘Teddy’ altaCITIES says: This interview and report by NPR with Victoria Kennedy gives a special insight into her life with Ted Kennedy and his life as a public champion.
