As most of you know, I underwent surgery for neuroendocrine tumors
arising in the pancreas on September 27th.

I'm pleased to hear the surgery was a success.

Thank you.

I hope you have medical insurance -- it sounds very expensive.

I'm on Medicaid.

The bill for the first hospital stay (the operation and the immediate
post-op two week stay) was $91,100.

Kaiser and Medicare have spent more than $2 million on me now, and a
majority of that is hospitalization.

(I'm waiting to read the next post.)
