Hi Hap,

-> Can't blame you there. Is Anne going to wear one? There are some pretty

-> think I own any.

Sounds like a great place. I had to see another oncologist a couple of
times in my treatment. His office had all kinds of hats & other cover
ups for chemo patients. I don't know if any of the workers in the place
where I had my treatments were survivors or not but they were all great.
One of the nurses saw me out on Tybee Island (We'd gone with some
friends for a picnic and dominoes game.) and told me "I'm going to tell
Dr. P that you were here!" We had a good laugh over it; she told him in
my presence the next time I saw him. His attitude was "good, glad you're
having fun".

-> Sounds good to me. A cuppa tea might help too--not neccessarily black

OK, I'm a bit behind so I might see the update later in this packet.
