As many of you realize, we at Boomer Health Group do a LOT of our work virtually (i.e. over the phone - yes, the archaic PHONE!). We do a lot nationally; state to state.... So, it wasn't unusual at all to talk to a woman out west about her situation. She's turning 65, no spouse and had a cancer diagnosis a few years back and was treated at MD Anderson.
