because I knew I would be asked about it

Her poster left off how long survival was from time of first mets (if not brain)

I told her how important it was to put that in, as beancounters and people who write up NCCN guidelines and government healthcare services utilize this information to make decisions regarding who does and doesn't get to have prophylactic brain MRIs to detect tumors early when they are small and not so numerous and hopefully amenable to Cyber/gamma knife.

She understood my point immediately and promised to go back and review all the Mayo sites figures again and be sure that information would be included when the information was published.
