At 12:22pm on February 9, 2013, Brenda said…: Carole, Thank you for your comment. I know it is a lot of decisions to be made with this, and even with all the tests, I may not be eligible, so maybe I am worrying for nothing!! Appreciate your offer of advice, and do not be surprised if I take you up on it. You live a bit south east of me, I am west of Waco, but the hospital is in Temple. This is a new program, so there is no track record to go by.......Thanks for the good advice.
