Well, the problem with cancer treatment is that these good folks who treat it are in it every day and sometimes they just assume that folks know what the heck they are talking about when, in reality, they don't... But they do usually recommend certain books to read so that the patient will be up to speed... I don't really agreer with that approach... I wish doctors would spend a little more time talking in general terms and less in terms about platlet counts and stuff that is way over most folks heads...

That is just my beef with the fine folks who are out there very day on the front lines treating people...

The line I hated hearing was, "Well, we can treat that, too..." in regards to the effects of chemo...

But, havin' said that, Stage 1, Michelle??? Geeze, that is wonderful to hear... That will get you memebership in the "10,000 Club"...

Hang in there... You'll be looking back on this as a *survivor* in short order (relatively speakin')...
