        Thank you for posting the teleconference on the website.  I was working and upset that I wouldn't be able to listen in.  When I was treated with brachytherapy, I had fine needle biopsy done at the time, but the only thing that they looked for was monosomy 3, which I have.  Does this automatically put me in class 2 or are there some tumors that have monosomy 3 that are low risk for metastasis?  I don't even know about chromosomes 6 or 8 so I feel lost in terms of my results.
