This Fall again, we visited our family in Toronto. We spent 3 weeks there. We had such a great time. Our grandsons are changing so fast! They are now 5 years old and 13 months old!

We did not travel outside Toronto this time. We just visited the railroad museum with our older grandson, and Brick Works with our younger grandson. We visited also the street art alley in downtown Toronto.

It was the begining of the Fall season, with the bright colors illuminating the forests, and the Halloween decorations poping out in every garden.

As usual, we came back with the flu! Canadien virus do not like us!

Eight years ago, on November 10th, I used the subway to attend the 20th anniversary of our lab at the Curie Institute. It was my first public transportation after my stem cells graft. I asked permission to my graft doctor, who said yes. But I had to wear a face mask, and do not eat during the lunch buffet… I was so bad looking, no hair, white skin, that nobody wanted to speak with me: most of them were thinking that it could be the last time they might meet me alive… But I was so happy to be there!

Once again, I had been very lucky to meet with the fantastic Hematology team at Saint Antoine Hospital: they saved my life! Each day, my thoughts are flying toward the doctors and nurses there, in particular to my great graft doctor! I don’t forget my family and my stem cells donor!

With love…
