the chemo…the cancer…the fungus,
bowel obstruction, pneumonia…
all joined hands, 
in a macabre can-can to kill her.

For sure. Kick cancer down the street, over the cliff, into the abyss…and don’t you come back will be the echo…

Of course no immunotherapy was introduced…just stick to the plan and kill the patient…oh and collect the money. A sad business! Thanks, Tom

But they got their money. What if they had to cure the patient first..ah ah…that’s an idea. Thanks, Caren!
