    My daughter Michelle’s fiance and I due most of the caregiving for Michelle who has been battling since April 2004 4th stage colon cancer. Michelle was diagnosed at 26 years old and is battling her third recurrance. I don’t know if you still need help with the study but I wouldn’t mind heelping in any way if I can. Please e-mail me if the study is still available.
