Believe51,

Sorry for the delay in replying to you. We were out of power from early Friday morning until this evening. At least we were warm by our wood stove.

Long story short my mother was seeing Dr. Lin from April 2007 (this is when she was dx with mets to the brain). In January 2007 I found a lump, but was "blown off" by my primary doc. Anyway, Dr. Lin became my doctor once I was dx this year. What were your thoughts of her?
