Ladies,
Just wanted to tell you to go to www.msn.com they have an article on a promising new blood test that will find those small cancer creatures in our blood. Seems to be effective and major cancer, like breast, colon, lung, etc. Still in testing stage but Johnson & Johnson are teaming up with researchers to get it approved sooner. Maybe some good news for a change.

    I saw this too!
    Janie ... I saw this too and can't wait to ask my oncologist about it. I see him on the 21st ... and hopefully by then more news will be out about the test ... and we can all hope that the news is promising. Wouldn't it be amazing if a simple blood test could give answers to whether the cancer is back ... or if we can breathe a sigh of relief. Wouldn't we all love to breathe that sigh of relief with some sort of confidence?

    hugs.
