Thanks, everyone! And yes, Kim, meeting you and everyone else in person in Atlanta was so cool. I still tell people about how I was able to "crash" the ASCO convention with the help of Joe and Christine :-)
The story I wrote in October 2005 can be accessed by clicking on my blog and navigating to October 2005. I don't post to the blog all that much anymore, but if one wanted to go back to November 2004 they could see my BC "diary" from the beginning. I onl recommmend that if you are bored or have trouble sleeping...it's pretty lengthy!!
