Hi Becky,

I struggle with the issue that you raised-- I'm curious about the PTEN, but what would I do with the information-- how would it guide my treatment decisions given all the tx I've had. Still don't have an answer-- maybe shut down my ovaries, maybe do a vaccine trial...don't know. Part of me wants to give up cancer as a hobby.
