Good evening. I would just simply like to say that the staff at MD Anderson Invori's, they're very nice, very kind, and very patient. And I think that Dr. Hussein is a wonderful doctor. I just feel sometimes that I have to be a little faster with my answers and a little bit more precise with what he's asking me and come up with an answer or a comment a little bit faster than what I did. But all in all, I do believe he's a great doctor. He took care of me and all of my numbers and records seem to be much better, which means he knew what he was doing and him and Dr. Lopez have me on the right track. Thank you very much. You have a good evening and a good holiday.
