I was worried on the way here thinking I don’t think I can take this chemo today because I don’t think I would be able to survive it. I think I’ll end up getting sick. I’ll end up, you know, 140 pounds before you know it and losing strength. So, if we can get to the bottom of what’s the root of this thing and then maybe we suspend the chemo until such time as we feel comfortable then I can start to get back into the normal rhythm in life. |

Yeah, I think clearly… yeah, I think you’re absolutely right, today – treatment today is the wrong, wrong... |
P: |
Okay, all right. |

I think we’ve got to focus all our energy on trying to help you feel better and understand why you are getting sick to your stomach. |
