Hi Harrie, You ended up with Dr. Pegram...doesn't get too much better then that.

You certainly landed in all the right places young lady. Extremely compassinate...now those are two words that are to be unknown to my onc. lol I will give Breastlink a call in the morning and see what they say? It's all about getting the right person...maybe that will be the place to direct me to the study I need. I'm willing to call any place at this point. I'll probably call Slamons one more time tomorrow too and see if he can't do something? Wish me luck.
