    So glad to hear the therapy is working, Stanley. What a wonderful day it will be to see you back in your office enjoying your retirement in the house that you built.

    Continued success in your treatment.

    I look forward to your next concert!

    Arms around you – while the news sounds so good what you are likely going through on all levels is so hard. With palm pressed together Dear Stan.

    You taught me so much about how to be a patient and how to live with my illness. I know that everything you taught me came from inside you, and it will all be there for you to draw on. Sending all best wishes.

    Good news! And I’m reading your post today, 7 March, which is my birthday so the universe is moving in the right direction. It’s a gray day at work and this news took away the clouds. Hope 2 cu soon. Jeffrey L.

      will be in touch soon as I learn how to manage treatment effects a bit better.

  7. Ellen Band on March 7, 2024 at 9:42 am

    Stan, your words make it clear how it is possible to feel a range of contrasting emotions all at once – and it makes sense! I continue to pray for your healing and well-being and look forward to hearing you and the band perform again! R’fuah Sh’laimah

      grief is of course a paradox of pain fear and joy and love

    Hi Stan,

    I am so happy to hear that your treatment is working, and then said to hear how you are feeling physically and emotionally! I think of you often. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love and support to you and your family, Peggy

      we have a reassuring ct scan result however that is not yet evidence of it working in a durable way and I still have the same symptoms so just to keep it real..I am reporting a favorable ct scan showing some welcome drug effect. Stay tuned for the clinical meaning of this good interim finding.I look forward to sharing the important news to all of us but try to make the meaning precise.

  13. John Kusiak on March 7, 2024 at 10:58 am

    So glad to hear progress is being made even though it sounds like it’s a painful regimen you have to follow.

    All the best to you.

    John

    • Stanley Sagov on March 7, 2024 at 4:06 pm

    Prayers, blessings, and energy come your way from Minnesota. I am so grateful that the therapy is working. We are not ready for you to be with the ancestors!

  20. Catherine Hammond on March 7, 2024 at 12:51 pm

    Dear Stanley. Thank you so much for keeping me – and all “your people” – informed of all that you are going through. I am sending deeply heartfelt love to you and your supportive family who, though I only know them indirectly, I can tell is the very definition of what “family” means. Remembering Dr Sagov’s “famous jokes”, I wish I had one to tell you here but… Hugs!!!

    • Stanley Sagov on March 7, 2024 at 2:54 pm

      got it and know you and I are our people

    • Stanley Sagov on April 1, 2024 at 7:22 am

      as you say music is foundational for some of us

      • Stanley Sagov on April 4, 2024 at 6:40 am

        are we not lucky to have that path of expression beyond words

  25. Michael Glenn on March 8, 2024 at 9:29 am

    Good news is good news! Hoping things continue in this direction. Who ever expected you would be in contact with so many people around this issue at this time and in this way? It’s like an ever-unfolding mystery, with you as both viewer and protagonist…

    • Stanley Sagov on April 1, 2024 at 7:22 am

      all right I will take it as good news then ..thanks for support

  26. Janet McGrath on March 8, 2024 at 2:45 pm

    We are very glad to hear some good news from you – however tentative it may be. You are one tough cookie – with a heart of gold!

    With love and solidarity,

    Ken, Raysa, and Marcelo

  29. Clinton Pong on March 20, 2024 at 11:52 am

    Stan,
    This past year I saw you was sitting in front of a group of captivated second year medical students who were all so inspired by your stories on the importance of taking a great history, understanding the heart of a patient, and delivering information in an effective and clear manner through an oral presentation. So glad to hear about the positive changes. And congratulations about becoming emeritus faculty at tufts!
    Truly, you are an inspiration.
    All the best,
    -Clinton

    • Stanley Sagov on April 1, 2024 at 7:19 am
