i missed the news about the cancer. that is really awful.
will they do surgery?
best of luck w the chemo. let us know how it is going.

and yeah, that weight loss shit gets old. my roommate was told that they would not replace her completely shot hip until she loses 70 lbs. wtf? how do you lose weight when you can barely walk? (and she is 61, and trying to get back in the workforce. how much longer do they think she has to fool around?)

needless to say she is looking for another surgeon. like they wouldnt do the surgery if she broke that hip. i understand that the weight complicates things, but jeebus. leaving her in the kind of pain she is in is unconscionable.

doctors. cant live with them, cant live without them. i hope you complained about that nag. that is just stuoooopid.
