wow! Very interesting read.. thanks BW... would like to also see more updated info as times have changed and we're now another 5 yrs out since the 2001 updated noted in the article.  I'd be real curious about that!

Thank you for this information. I found it interesting also.  Had to work hard to understand it, however!!   :P

Ah Batty Wench,

I think you need a hobbie!

good reading but. sorta supports my thinking and the general mood of the posts on this site that if you have the choice - go with radiation treatment.

I wish the ANA would hire Batty as a reasearcher and pay her $75,000 a year! She finds the best stuff!

BW could be our researcher on the good ship in her name. The conditions are lousy and the pay worse. All the choccie dipping you can handle but!

Funny Capt, I just told my mom I need to find someone to pay me to look up info as I can handle that...no talking, just reading and thinking at my speed!  Finally got a verbal acceptance from voc rehab for testing but no follow through..now why doesn't that surprise me?  Still nothing from ssd...
