- Vera Dulciman: When I first came to the oncology place, I thought I'd be in and out in ten minutes. How many can there be? I go through the doors and I can't get a seat. Elderly ladies, strong-looking young men, children of two years old. This thing has no taste, no discrimination, and you start thinking why me and you start thinking two years old.
