    Wow!!! Thank you!!!!!
    Thank you SOOOO much for posting this!!! I feel like I came across this for a reason. I feel like hugging you!!!! I have been struggling with the thought of this poisonous oxi for weeks now as my hubbie needs to make a decision about chemo. I cannot wait to show him this, I cannot wait to see if the oncologist will change his mind about Folfox for a stage 2, which my hubbie is.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.....I am serious. You made my night, my week, my month, probably a difference in our whole life. I would have never seen this on the internet probably.
