My team of doctors, nurses, etc., have taken excellent care of me these last three years so my dismay lies not with them. I'm told I have one more year of treatment to go then we'll see how things pan out. So good, so far, as long as they don't expect any money from a couple of retirees. That's why, when David retired, we purchased supplemental insurance. It is to cover anything Medicare doesn't. Best decision we ever made.
