Hi Gina,

Dr. Hu is great too. I stayed at Hope Lodge on the 8th floor in 2012 Oct/Nov for six weeks, and during the hurricane. Beth Israel closed for 5 days due to no power, and had to go to Roosevelt Hospital for radiation, another one of their hospitals, for several treatments. Hope Lodge it is a great place, met a lot of people, and better than most hotels. The kitchen on the floor was our meeting place. We never lost power, but most all below 34th street did. Are you staying there for your visit? I know some do stay overnight, have tests, go home.

There was an Oral Cancer walk in NYC this past Saturday, but couldn't attend. I hear it has a lot of participants, but I'm not walking 4 miles lol.

Anyway, if you are in town longer, maybe we can meet for some coffee or another time. I'm going back on Friday, probably, to pick up my scan report. I don't wait to see my doctor's, although it's the following Monday and Tuesday.
