I would love to go but sometimes this chemo brain thing has me doubting my intelligence. I would probably go and listen to what was said and wouldn't absorb anything or understand what was being said and I'd end up feeling like an idiot. I can read a book and forget what the chapter I left the night before was about. It sounds like such a wonderful trip and opportunity Joe, thank you for offering this to us..sherryg683

I never quite know where I will be when it comes to treatment. However, as long as I'm well I would love to go.
