If we find the task is greater than us (I hope not) the very least we will have done
is hopefully to get each and everyone of you to be certain your tumor specimen is not discarded.
Each holds a little piece of the puzzle to understanding and hopefully conquering this disease.
Also, please let your friends and relatives know of this problem (no matter what their diagnosis was) so valuable information does not end up in smoke in the incinerator.
I am so glad you found your sample. Now I will try to find out from the man at Wash U pathology department how each of you who takes your sample home (if that is the only way they will not discard it) should store it for safekeeping.
As I said, mining for information is my forte ...organizing, paperwork, and
"smoozing/marketing" and fundraising are not. Let's see which members of this board have those capabilities and see if we can do more...but, if not, at least we saved many tumors from the trash heep/incinerator!
