I really felt bad for the kid who bypassed Sloan Kettering. And this article really emphasizes the importance of a CCC vs. a Hospital without saying it in words. Although, doctors and hospitals ought to know what they can and cannot handle. Having said that--a relative of mine through marriage went to the best cancer centers in the world and none of them were able to help him get through thyroid cancer. Research centers, hospitals, doctors and patients just have to do their best in fighting this dreaded disease that we know as cancer.

I was originally worried about posting such an article then I realized nothing is as scary as what we are already experiencing.

Sometimes I feel like saying/feeling "Stay Strong!" and sometimes I feel like "Stay Strong?"

What can I say--we all have a lot of tears.


Okay, on a funnier note! I remember my step-father and I dropping my grandfather Bialek off at the bus station and when it came time to say our goodbyes he looks and us and says, "Look at that bus driver, he has no clue what he's doing...I'm going to get on that bus and nobody is ever going to see me again...I'll be gone...Lost forever..Goodbye?!? What's the use?" Another time, we're seeing his doctor for who knows what and he looks at my grandmother and says, "This doctor--he's too young to know what he's doing..." Right in front of him!! LOL...And that's coming from a guy who went through WWII--I don't know if he was the greatest pessimist or greatest comedian I ever knew.
