You have given us a glimpse of what we may or may not have seen. But we can all feel strongly about. Good one, Line.

Thanks for your visit and comment, Caren. My first visit to a chemo waiting room was very moving. It was difficult seeing so many people at different stages of chemo... Thankfully my husband was only in for another type of treatment but we will have to go monthly.
