[Magdalen] Chemo tomorrow

[Marion Thompson]

I've got you!  My brother is on the list, too, as he starts radiation on 
a recurrence in his arm muscle.  44 twice-a-day half doses six hours 
apart, half because the area has been zapped and operated on before.  In 
early March they'll operate on what's left  of the tumour.  What a 
wicked business this is, eh?
