Dear Mrs. Silberstein,

I have been intending to do this for weeks but I guess I am the typical "average cancer patient who has no time energy money or emotional fortitude left" and I'm sure you recognize the quote. Well, it’s a good one. It does take some perseverance to deal with the juicing, boiling, mixing, walking and swallowing etc., but when you consider the alternatives like radiation and chemotherapy it isn't too bad. Hey, look what just became alternatives. It’s about time!

Anyway, use this check to oil the wheel that is squeaking loudest and thank you for being where you are and for doing what you are doing.

Sincerely,

Harold S.

Dear Susan:

Despite the very stressful week that you had prior to the seminar, you did an outstanding job in your presentation
"Maximizing the Role of the Physical Therapist in Working With the Breast Cancer Population." The evaluations unanimously claimed that the objectives were met and that they would recommend it to others if it was repeated. When asked to evaluate the individual speakers, the registrants were asked to evaluate them on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being poor, 3 being average, and 5 being excellent. The majority of your evaluations were average and above. Comments included that it was wonderfully practical information, that they were glad that you were part of it, that you were a wonderful speaker and that it was interesting, organized information. A few people commented that they would have liked more information and more time allotted to your topic, which we will definitely keep in mind for future planning of seminars. I have had a request for additional information, including references to the studies that you cited and a more inclusive list of the foods that you discussed. If you are able to give them to me, I certainly would appreciate it. I also would like some more information on your Center and an application for membership for our office.

I thank you so much for your time and talent in being part of this seminar. I hope that things in your office have settled down and that your life is less stressful.

Sincerely,

Dear Susan,

Thank you so much for once again providing a stimulating and informative lecture to students enrolled in the Coping with Cancer elective. I'm sorry I was unable to be there this year, but as I'm sure Jan H. told you, I was attending an AACN meeting in Washington DC. The students have had much discussion about your talk and were obviously excited about the content that you share.

I understand that you are also lucky enough to have Tina O'K. working with you this semester as part of her internship. Thanks for allowing her the opportunity to work with your organization. I know that she is learning a great deal.

Thank you again for your continued support of our nursing program.

Sincerely,

Susan C. S.
