Dear Lil,
I never cared for Angelo's Onc. in the first place. I think I told
you that, but, Angelo was hesitant to change doctors or hospitals
in the middle of treatment so we stayed with her. Needless to say
he is ready to seek out other opinions THANK GOD!
I don't know if you have heard of Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis,
but it is rated one of the top 10 in the country. I have been in
contact with them b e-mail and by telephone. They are supposed to be
up on all the latest cancer treatments so I hope they have something
to offer us.
I will certainly keep you informed my friend. I intend to take a tape
recorder with me and tape the conversation with the Onc. this time.
Thanks for caring. I hope you are feeling better Lil. I worry about
you taking care of yourself.
Love to you,
Mary
