I would have to say, I'm for Medicare for everyone. It doesn't get any simpler than that. I won't blather on about all of the horrors I've dealt with during and after my dx of CML. Even when my onc told me I could wait at minimum 2 years before receiving any treatment for my CML. Huh. I wonder how

Hi Suzie: You are probably right. It might just be a nasty cold. Truth is, I don't know the difference between colds and flu. When I was a kid, if you had vomiting and diarrhea - you had the flu. If you had upper respiratory symptoms - you had a cold. As an adult I found out that all those "flu"
