Thank you.
I have a wonderful team of doctors, at MSK. I don't know what I would have done without them (or whether I'd still be alive), and I am very concerned about the talks of Anthem not renewing the contract. Very scary, as my future depends on MSK.
Dr Alektiar was very helpful in answering my questions
