Willing and able!
I have my tumor blocks that I picked up directly from the lab about one year ago. They have documentation regarding that pickup. The lab still has the slides. University of Washington may have a few slides since they did a second review. I would have to check.
YES to the other questions. My interview might take a while due to my ongoing history!
