Last Day of Radiation Treatment at Bodine Center For Radiation Therapy

I had my last treatment today and rang the bell. It's bell for patients with who have completed their radiation treatment regimen to loudly declare a victory.

I had my last treatment today and rang the bell. It's bell for patients with who have completed their radiation treatment regimen to declare a victory loudly. I have been documenting my progression with the treatment by taking a daily photo of the street scenes on 11 Street between Walnut, Samson and Chestnut Streets outside of the Bodine Center For Radiation Therapy. These photographs are the last set of pictures from that experience.

I observed to Bhavna that Philadelphia seems to have more old city charm than New York City. The new is being built with and around the bones of the old. What will become of this building on the corner of Samson and 11th Street?

Second to last radiation treatment at Bodine Center For Radiation Therapy. I'm tired and don't have much to add to today. I didn't try to compose these images. I sort of raise the camera and hit the shutter button. Tomorrow I get to ring the bell.

Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours

I’ve noticed a few different double-deckers touring busses on our morning drive into Philadelphia for my radiation treatments.

I have been taking a photo each morning, each one from just outside the Bodine Center For Radiation Therapy on 11th Street. But those images didn’t show the hustle and bustle and morning life that was happening all around Philadelphia.

Serendipity caused this lively and representative scene to unfold before me. It’s one of my favourites from the last two weeks.

When I was about thirteen years old, my father took us on a family vacation to the UK. I don’t remember much about that trip. Some vague recollection of a visit to London Tower, Harrods, Marks & Spence, Trafalgar Square, and a trip to the countryside to visit the estate home of one of his banking clients1.

But I do remember those double-decker buses. It seemed like they were everywhere. And I do remember riding around London atop the bus. But I don't remember anything about what I saw.
