Update - Margot

[Guest guest]

Hi Margot...Sorry to hear what you're going through. Hopefully, things will

improve very soon as your chemo ends. What is the second cancer you have? Sorry,

I must have missed some posts. And, yes..it is too bad that a few thoughtless

remarks can be such a turn-off..mostly because we are so vulnerable. MDACC is a

hugh place so don't let a few inconsiderate folks prevent you from the best

care. Wishing you the best over ther next weeks. Betsy in Homer Alaska...(where

summer never came)
