Hi back to you!!  Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving...God only knows 
we all have alot to be thankful for!  It is a delight to have Ron back in 
full form.  He has such spirit!

I checked out the NCI site which I visit many times during the day for 
work purposes.  There was nothing about Hypofractional Radiation (has an 
interesting ring to it!) but I did manage to find alot about the clinical 
use of radiation in combination with chemo.  It is becoming more the 
practice for difused cancer that is not well differentiated.  If you need 
I will pass on the NCI website address.

In the meantime, God Bless and keep up the spirits and good work!

John
