Dear Susan,

I have tried to call you a few times, but I haven’t gotten through. So I decided to write in order to bring you up to date. After our meeting on Friday, November 1st, the following Monday I saw the oncologic-gynecologist, John C. When I asked him about the “controversial pathology report” according to Ron C., he stated that the ovarian cancer was definitely not related to the breast cancer, and could not understand where Ron C. got that idea from. He even gave me a copy of the pathology report, and it was very clear to my untrained eye. I asked him if he thought there was any reason to continue on chemo. He said, “No.” Meanwhile I canceled the appointment with the oncologist in Sarasota to get my treatment the next day.

Only after placing another call to Cantor yesterday, I finally received a call back this morning (he’s not in on Thurs.). The MUGA scan on my heart was normal, thank goodness. However, he still thinks that I should be on some kind of hormone therapy now that I stopped the adriamycin. I told him that I didn’t want any more therapy and asked that he monitor my progress from now on with the blood test markers, etc.
And that’s the way it stands now.

Everything is going fine right now, and I’ll be working on detoxification.

Enclosed are a few stamps so that you can mail the Center’s newsletters directly to me at:
 We’ll be back in Cherry Hill in April (mid-month).

Many thanks for all your help and counseling. I feel very positive about the future. I would never feel this way without you and the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education.

We’ll be home until Dec. 1st and then will leave for Sarasota, just in case you want to drop me a line with anything further.

I’ll keep in touch.

Sincerely,
Phyllis R.
