it went well can't expect everyone to show that messenger because there's always a couple people or one person that doesn't feel that way, but everyone else that I met up with was actually very nice and very wonderful. This is their job after all that everybody was professional, including myself, explained everything about my health as well as I possibly could and I got some very good dialogue with the Doctor Who is a very amazing doctor because she's actually a doctor for two specialties both of the ones that I happen to have I might have to have a breast cancer doctor, which she is already did have a thyroid doctor which she's already seen me for so she must be a very, very intelligent doctor and I'm not that bad of a patient not for my age not for all the things I've been through cancer and 27 years of John Hopkins and I had to move down here cause my husband died it's very difficult for me, but I'm doing it so far
