Here's a great big cyber hug.  Glad you got into action Tracy,
now you have a little bit more control over your life.  Have you gone
through the sites for information, made you list of questions for the doctors
and who are you taking with you for your appointments?  Pushy aren't
I?  Need to be, we can't be time wasters on this journey and since
your in the forward gear want to keep you there.  Pls. let us know
if we may be of help further, know that we are with you and will continue
so through your journey.  Your friend, Lillian

Wow, what a rush.   I just e-mailed a note about my progress and asking
questions to my oncologist and surgeon.  I would never have done this two
days ago.  I listened to Bernie Siegel's book on tape yesterday (L,M&M) and
this was the result. . . I took the risk to open up communiciations with my
Drs.   To my surprise, when I called the nurse to get the addresses, she
was excited about it . . . and here I was thinking that if I sent a note,
they would think I was a pushy pain who was trying to monopolize their time
etc.

I am not quite ready to call them by their first names yet, especially my
oncologist as he is older and heads a large department.  I think I will get
there soon, though.

Blessings to you all,

Tracy
