I was in yesterday to meet with my surgeon and prior to that meeting, met with a doctor who has just graduated from med. school three days ago. In talking with me, he asked if I had ever lived in Egypt and I said, "no, why do you ask?" He told me there is a parasite there that is the reason so many people in Egypt are diagnosed with bladder cancer. News to me. I did know that this was the case in some tropical countries, so I have read but I've never been to any of those coutries either.
Also, I happen to be reading the "in memorial" section of this website and noticed that Susan had lived in Egypt. Does get me thinking about where I might not want to travel in the future. Melodie
