  PRATT AND WHITNEY BRAIN TUMOR STUDY        

                 

    The Study is the largest study of its type in history.  We have accomplished quite a task and we need to finish the job.  The study is looking at over 250,000 people over a 50 year period.  We have a whole team working on this study.  It is a very important study.  We could make a difference.  Not only could this give us some answers as to what happened to our loved ones we lost, but it could maybe answer some questions to finding out what causes these cancers and maybe help in finding a way to help people in the future.  
 
    We all have been working very hard to accomplished this.  We have quarterly meetings to update the work group and will be posting the date soon for our ANNUAL FAMILY STATUS MEETING.  We hope to have some very special quests there.  We have a lot to update you on.  We should have the results of the first report that is going to be published at that meeting and that is why we still have not scheduled this meeting.   The study still have another almost two years to go and we hope to be able to continue to give you the kind of update you are all waiting to hear.    See you at our next meeting.
