March 22, 2012 at 12:38 pm #59136lesSpectatorGood morning. I am not certain how to introduce oneself?
Teresa, you obviously figured it out. I have not been an active participant for that reason; however, I have come to realize we all share in one thing, unfortunately. Presetly at MDAnderson with wife, Sarah. I won’t go into til someone can tell me I am going about this without infringing on Teresa’s space. I do have some questions I am certain this group may be able to help with. Please advise??March 22, 2012 at 3:13 am #59135peggypMemberHi Teresa,
