and this incident makes me sick at heart....a woman struggling to survive and a school and principal who deny her access to the school becuase she "smells"......how much longer will this woman be able to interact with her child....good god sounds to me like the adminsitration in this school could use some education on cancer and its patients and medical treatment....
