[Just Susan]

Well my friend with the medical condition did go on the cruise that she and her husband and a group of friends had been planning.

She has been doing fine medically which is a blessing. With all the focus on her, the current situation came totally out of left field. I am going to quote her email to me because I can't say it better than she has already done.

But first I want to tell you my point in doing so... I am wondering if any of you know of some helpful information that I can pass on to her. This is uppermost in my mind right now.

The second thing is...I want all of us travelers, to think about how we would handle it, if a situation like this occurred during one of our trips and how could we be prepared, for the unexpected.
