maybe follow their advice anyway

and i am so sorry. it is very wrong for me to say that, because i cannot possibly know from where i sit, but i only hope for the very best for you.

i've told the story before, of my friend that didn't follow their advice and is now in a much worse position. only the chemo has saved her so far. a quack in argentina tried to sell her that chemo is what kills people. she'd be dead right now if she had $17,000 for that quack.

she was scared making herself sick when she had that first dose but when the nurses figured out what was up, they wrote on her chart to make sure patient is pretreated with ativan and everything was fine after that.

so far so good for my friend facing terrible odds. 15 rounds and the tumors were not visible on scans. she still faces terrible problems but her hair is growing back and she's still alive. and she still faces terrible odds and i hope for better odds for you.
