I just got back that my platelets are at 185,000. That means I'm all ready to go for chemo! Who knew I would be happy about getting chemo.
Today I met up with one of my Wellesley friends who works at Hopkins. Some of you may know her, Ting Bao. She and I were biochem majors and were a part of the Glee Club (singing). It turns out that she works in breast cancer in the medical oncology dept. What a small world! In fact, my med onc's office is right across her desk. She can see him come and go all the time.
Ting graduated a year later than I did. It seems that during their reunions they get to see Hillary Clinton. One of these years I may just end up crashing their reunion! She told me other people do. =>
It was good to hear about Hui Men and Qian Zhou, who both happen to be in MD. I had completely lost contact with Hui, and last time I heard Qian was in TX. Ting is looking for a faculty position, and her husband is already a faculty member at Hopkins. She got married in 2003. It turns out that most of our close Wellesley friends don't have children. We have to wonder if there was something about Wellesley that had us decide to have children later.
Anyway, it turned out to be a great 2-hour lunch. I actually found her through the Linked In website. It's been 10 years since I last saw her.

hey kyunghee.
i remember ting! i don't recognize the names of the other 2 wellesley alumnae you mention though.
what a tiny world it is! how wonderful it was that you were able to catch up with her. it always makes me feel so good to run into another wellesley woman. it's a bond like no other. never thought the school would invoke such feelings when i was still a student.
i may very well have to crash her reunion next time around. :)
as for us wellesley women and our timing to the altar and to the delivery room...that's a topic for another day. for those of us who want to, we all get there at our own pace, and i think that's wonderful. some get there sooner, some get there later, but i think the most important thing is that we know those particular milestones in life are attainable, and that we can get there when we are ready. what a beautiful thing. :)
I didn't know that you would know Ting! Did you link up with her through the Linked In site? Did you take a class together?
