Please go to the main site at http://www.adhesions.org and study. It's a wealth of information and especially read past emails by Helen Dynda. She has done a great job of finding other medical sites where we can find out just what we need to know. Take care of yourself and good luck. I can't type too long, my hands and arms and thumbs seem to be disintegrating. And they hurt. Anyway, all my prayers and love to you, Sally Grigg

my family doc suspects cancer, but is not very worried because it has not
attached very far.
