Andre, I don't have an answer for you on doctors or what to do. I can tell
you that as a cancer survivor who just had surgery in November, I would want
to know the truth. It is with the truth that we can then begin to fight and
hopefully win the battle. Mine is but one opinion, but I pray that you will
guided to do what is right for your friend. ......... Carla.......
