Well, as far as I'm concerned the managers can get stuffed @"Patti J" I certainly wouldn't want to participate in a program that discriminates like that. 'Scare the newbies' what a crock of shit. The newbies are already scared, or they bloody well should be.
Everyone has a right to try to improve their quality of life and being excluded like that makes a crap situation even worse. If you think you would benefit from that program, enrol in it. If they try to sideline you because you are living with the disease and technically you (like many of us, realistically) are always going to be 'between' treatments rather than ''finished', you let us know.
There will be a storm of indignation! Mxx
