    Thanks Lizzy
    I also belong to CCA and have tuned into these chats with various doctors. They are extremely informative. You don't have to do anything, just log on and watch. The one on liver mets a few months ago the doc was very impressed with the questions asked.

    I anyone is interested just joing CCA, very easy like here, costs nothing, and is a wealth of informtion. You get some good e-mail updates also. Very worth it. I will probably log on to this one.

    Happy Easter - Tina

    call number
    Last time I was on there was no call number. You just logged on and all the discussion was via typing. They may have audio this time but I have never had to call in. Log on to their web site and all the info is there. Again, no biggie to join.

    Ok, I just checked my e-mail and I guess there is a call in number on this one with an access code. Well, I'll try it and see what happens.

    Lots of back and forth on the board regarding diet so I am anxious to see what he has to say.
