In the interest of full disclosure and allaying the fears of some paranoid people, I was a spouse/caregiver to a cancer patient. I became intensely interested in cancer medicine by virtue of working through, enduring and surviving my wife's illness. My college educaton and experience helped me to gather knowledge by virtue of voluminous reading and hundreds of hours of past and ongoing personal communication with noted authorities in the field. This includes surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, clinical researchers, and the like.

Although retired, privately, I've been a student of cell function analysis. I do not have any financial conflicts of interest raising the awareness of this technology. On the internet, my point with respect to this systematic procedure is to educate patients that such techniques exist, and might be very valuable. I get nothing out of my endeavors except the satisfaction of knowing that I've helped to increase the knowledge of informed consent. I get no pay, no lectureships, no junkets, not even any free meals.

To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr.: "A scientific communication should be judged on the quality of its content and only secondarily, or not at all, on the qualifications of its author. I hope I allayed your fears hutchibk.

Don't forget to give credit to all of the other fine assay labs:
