Hi Barb, Glad to hear that you feel comfortable with the oncologist, I think that's an important aspect of this. Nothing wrong with being Cleopartra - other than the eye liner thing. You are finding coping mechanisms that work for you and that's entirely appropriate.

I'd say you handled yourself very well during that meeting with the doctor, it's a lot of information to take in. Let us know how you are doing and I'm hoping the chemo continues to go well for Jim.

Regards JoAnne
