Jeff,
Thanks so much. I'll download the reports and send them to my sister. I
have already mailed her two reports that I downloaded related to breast
cancer--one from Medline Plus and the other one from the American Cancer
Society. I'll mail the other ones (that you mentioned) to my sister later
today. She lives 2000 miles from me and is really worried about her only
daughter. The doctor was speaking a language making use of words that
neither of them could understand. The reports should help them.
Thanks again,
Jason
