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 address  )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!) |
