Re: Comedy of Errors

I have learned to never underestimate the ability of the medical community to screw things up. My Oncotype test was delayed by 10 days because the only person in the lab who knew how to mail it was on vacation. When I
complained later the response was "what, am I not supposed to take a vacation?" Instead of maybe having more than one person who knows how to mail things! I was waiting for the results to help decide what chemo to do!


Anyhow, praise God, indeed, that all is now well and the drug is flowing. Keep the faith.
