Meanwhile he is at home getting weaker and having trouble eating...We are from Vancouver Canada and good old universal healthcare means wait list galore.it has been a week since the dr told us he needs another biopsy yet we still haven't gotten a call for an appt....I feel frustrated and useless...I want to help him but I don't know hoe nakohe Fri, 15 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT
