    I just sent this link to both my Oncologist and Surgeon, especially because I have a resection scheduled for March 1. Maybe I can be a contributor, who knows, I can help others in the future.

    Thanks for the info Marions.

    Praying for us all, Grover

    I will be in contact with Mass. Gen. in re: to the particulars, but discussions have been ongoing regarding the tissue sampling, the handling, and the storing of such tissue.
    Hugs and love,
    Marion

    This is great news indeed!

    I wonder if the new bank will collect samples only from Massachusetts General patients. I hope they will cooperate with other hospitals, so the bank can grow as fast as possible.

    Marion, this is DYNOMITE!!!!!!!!!! I will rephrase the Etta James song, “At Last”.
    At last, our cure has come along. Let’s put our CC where it belongs…………..
