Question Question: Re: Slides

Anyone please: I'll finally be able to get ahold of my slides from 2003, (1994 are gone, unfortunately). Now what's next.? Do I make appointments first. Iam referring to the freeze of the samples. Sometime ago SHeila and some other ladies advises us to secure our samples for whatever studies may be performed in the near future in the developing of new drugs vs bc. Can someone please let me know how do I go about storing them? Thanks you.

Hi--I made inquiries about my samples and was told that the clinic keeps them "forever." And I could have access to them any time I want. Is it possible yours does the same and you can return them to be sure they're kept in the best possible condition!

I did get three blocks of cuts from the original and was told just to keep them in the safe where I would know where they were. No special storing is necessary they are in parafin wax anyway. hugs, Sandy
