Joanna:

Thank you for your input...I too was a student of statistics, and know how amenable they are to manipulation.

I am curious about the survival stats b/c I (and I suspect many others) get depressed by them. I know I need to keep on the positive side...I can get diverted at times by such things.

Anyways, I go in a few minutes to meet the radioligist and get a mask, etc. Hope to start TX next monday.

Take Care!
