      I will restate the question I posted on this forum a few weeks ago.  What is the basis for Dr Harbour's statement: "The monosomy 3 test is inferior to the Castle Biosciences test.." Reference: http://talkabouthealth.com/can-a-very-large-choroidal-tumor-truly-be-low-risk-if-shown-so-in-monosomy-3-test-result-i-thought-large-usually-meant-high-risk Is this an opinion or based on some factual evidence? If based on a study or some other analysis, is he able to provide that?

      Sara,

      Are the funds donated from these events going specifically towards CURE OM or just to MRF in general?  The reason I ask is, I started a fundraising event for CURE OM (through the Firstgiving site) and noticed that the electronic receipts for donations only indicate "Melanoma Research Foundation" and nothing to indicate the money is targeted to CURE OM, as I intended.  Just making sure.

      Thank you.
