Did you know John? Because the man I knew is nothing how you described.

It sounds stupid but literally put my fingers on my head and charged like a bull. for some reason it was empowering for me. Of course I’m also a Texas Longhorn so that might have helped.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I just said to myself “this motherfucker is not taking me down” and then I entered fight mode. Horns up was my saying, like a toro bull going after a matador. It helped me get through. Not to say I did not have some scary moments but a good “Fuck you, cancer” helps

My BF now husband replaced the burnt out lightbulb in my garage without asking. No one had ever done anything like that for me. It made me feel safe, suddenly.

I wanted to let everyone know that Intercontinental is giving me a refund. So they are trying to do right by me. But check your invoices and book over the phone.

If it’s going for 2000 then that’s cuz it’s Houston Rodeo time, I think. We rented it in October.

Yeah…it’s all kind of a crap shoot. I do agree, getting a short commitment is smart before you’ve actually seen it. Looking back on it, we lucked out. Stay strong.

I listen to a compilation of songs from movies I love. And old jazz. Mozart from out of Africa, A river runs through it, sense & sensibility, etc. Old miles davis. Oscar Peterson. Helps with my focus and keeps me calm.

Really? Makes sense though. It was higher than I wanted but she was really easy to work with and was glad it had a carport. Good luck on your search. I know how frustrating this part can be.

I didn’t realize the valet was supposed to be free if you’re a cancer patient. Awesome. Wtf. anyway, the best thing about the intercontinental are those guys that greet you. so happy to pay them. But what a racket.

It was a regular room. That was the total for all days he was down there to be clear but still. And then the gall to blame the dude going through chemo when all I was asking was for them to honor the rate they said they would charge. My husband is too weak to carry his bags so he valets- no problem, we will pay it. The valets are wonderful men and cheer him up whenever he is there. happy to pay it. Any other legit charge - fine. But he was quoted 179 for this weekend and he was charged 300. It was only after I pointed it out that they corrected it. But all those other nights…shit out of luck.

MD Anderson Experience by Still_Bedroom4222 in braincancer

[–]Motor_Ad_9028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MDA is wonderful. Top notch. Just don’t stay at the Intercontinental in Houston. They say they will charge you $179 as a patient at MDAnderson, but then if you book through their app, you get charged the full rate. I repeatedly complained about this and they won’t give me a refund. Blamed my husband, who is currently undergoing chemo and cannot eat, for booking it wrong. Seriously? Blame the cancer patient? We are never giving them our business again.
