Thanks. Lolly.

I also uploaded my signature with my diagnosis and treatment bio. I will probably have to revise it a number of times, following the example of yours and others that just gives the info that others are looking for, to match treatments and compare notes. Thanks for the guidance. I would like to hear more about the UofW HER2 vaccine trial.

I will post more after I visit this surgeon on Monday morning.

Best Wishes.
