Oh, Mary Ann, I am so sad to hear this; cetainly not what we expected.
You don't have to wait until the 10th to get answers to your questions,
do you? I sure would not wait; it's just too stressful. How much chemo
and how long? I hate all the decision-making as well, especially when at
times it all seems like such a crap shoot. I pray that this is just a
brief, small detour in your plans for France (I, too, am a great fan of
Monet; how wonderful for the soul to see his gardens). You can be sure I
will be cranking up the payers for you, big-time!! Love, Joicy
