Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,140 Likes: 1 | Jerry, thank you so very much. That portrays just about my entire attitude during treatment, but I could never have expressed it so well or so wonderfully. I think we need to keep this bumped to the top until every single patient here has seen it. Thanks again. | | |
