Dear Joe
I believe that Ann-Michele was our dear Shell. She has not been on the board for about a month and I received no reply from a Private message as she does not list her email online. She was a partner in a Philly law firm - just like Ann-Michele. She corresponded with me because we both confer for other opinions at Fox Chase and wanted names of specialists that are in our area (I am in NJ but close to Philly). I am certain this is our Shell. She worked so hard at finding something that would work for her and helped us all by her participation in clinical trials.
With sadness that we have lost another sister...
