Wanda:
Will definitely let you all know how my primary care doc appointment goes.
I hope he locates a pain med that won't hurt the liver. Thanks for your
encouraging words.
So glad to hear that you have the appointment to talk with Dr. Cook on
12/22/99. Hope the conversation is all you want it to be and that you get
some idea as to how to proceed with your next step in treating this endo
crap.
Yes, Bob is being watched carefully as the type of cancer Bob had is fast
growing. That's why they insist on monthly checks. Hopefully we won't have
to deal with it ever again. Thanks for your support. You can't imagine
what it does for me. Thanks, sweetie!!!
Love you,
Leah S.
