Thanks, guys, for your excellent questions. I really have no idea how much time I can expect with Dr. Pegram. If I come with a pile of questions, how much time do you think he will give me? I'll try to have them in a priority order of some kind. I'll ask my husband to write answers as fast as he can!

Someone mentioned a tape recorder...is there such a thing as a small, disposable type? That is a good idea, though.

Jean, you mentioned PTEN 13. Are you asking his opinion of the test, itself? I'm not sure of the meaning of 13.
