Amy.....Our timing is very similar. My surgery was Jan. 4, 2006. The trial I am interested in wants patients who are less than one year away from their final definitive treatment. They may or may not allow me to participate, since I am slightly beyond that 1-year window. I have written them an inquiry.

I presume that if I participate, my personal dr. will have to recommend me, though I have all of my records.
