| Dear Joe and Christine,
 I feel so grateful that I could found you in the web and learn so much on this illnes, that it has helped me  to cope and fight with more strenght and faith.  Specially in my case that I am in a different country with different resources.  Please book me as avolunteer in all that I could be helpful with.  I will surely be there.  Thanks to you all I heard about the BRCa1 and BRC2 test.  These analysis are not done in my country, so we women with a Breast CA DX do not know what could come ahead.  Thanks to you I fought and got to the Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia in Mexico City, where they took samples of my blood and send them to the US to get the test done (test was done as part of their research), I will not have the results but until probably June or July, but I will know what else I can do from there on.  This, Thanks to the information I have gotten in this site.  THanks to you all again and again.
 With deep appreciation,
 Paty
 (Mexico)
