There was an article a couple of days ago in the NY Times about preliminary results from a large trial that offers hope for screening for early ovarian cancer (as we all know, a cancer that has defied early detection thus far). 

The link is: 

www.nytimes.com/2009/03/11/health/11cancer.html?ref=health

(Again, apologies for the lack of a blue underscored link --I am not very computer savvy and don't know why a hyperlink is not created when I hit enter or the space bar after typing or cutting and pasting a URL addressConfused)


Anyway, because of the risk for this type of cancer associated with the BRCA mutation, I thought I should post it

Josie,
 
Here you go. Most of the time if you just hit the space bar right after the link it will go "hot"
hugs,
Nancy

Thanks Nancy (It won't get "hot" when I hit enter or space--must be some setting on my computer--I'll get someone to help me figure it out eventually!)
