Dear Ellen--Sorry I called you "Sue"! Ddin't mean to mix you up--I came on the ANA forum to wish you all the best and on my journey to your post I read responses to Sue's question of what the Gama treatment was like--of course I was so interested as I eventually will have that done.. Anyway, please let us all know how you are doing!! Regards, Mary from MA ::)
