      What if our intention is NOT to just have Dr Sato look at our scans but to get the best chance at treatment as well? Is this something Dr Scott in Houston can take care of? It was my understanding that Dr Scott is more a researcher and not a treatment Doc. When I am looking at having the most aggressive primary tumor that has all the indicators of GNaq, monosomy, Type II, etc, I dont want to leave my life up to just anyone do I?

      Sara, Im not sure if I am doing this right or not. But I want you to know that you have my sincerest condolences for the loss of Gregg. It was Tim that finally told me and I wish I knew, Granted it was happening at I was undergoing my 3 and forth surgeries for complications, but I wish I have known so that I could have sent proper notice. I have reached a NEW and greatly needed research measure that could help no just is with OM, but has implications the world over. I need to talk to you about OUR NCSD event as well as the thing in May. I have the Sympopsium scheduled but need to have CureOM and The Cancer Fund working together and on the same page.

      Please tell me if you get these little tid bit, cuz I havra feeling you wont!! ,-)
