Dearest Marge,

I can't thank you enough for your web site. I am in the 'checking process' for breast cancer right now. No rebuilds for me! Regarding my friend. She was told she would have a physical exam after one year, and again at five years. That's it. Not the every year they claimed.

This is not second hand. I was in the room when she was told this. This was something I thought you might want to know. I don't know what, if anything, you can do with this information, but let me know if I can help.

Take Care!
