621001 - We've seen Laura a few times since the report on 090204.  At that

621004 -  ..
621005 - On 090616 we saw Laura and her mom in the waiting room for the Breast
621006 - Care Clinic at UCSF.  Cancer was diagnosed in the brain; Laura seemed
621007 - to get successful treatment with "gamma knife" radoology surgery.
621008 - ref SDS 3 LR40  Cancer has since spread with treatment using clinical
621009 - trials; Laura was discouraged, and did not look well.  She planned to
621010 - end care at UCSF and move back to Minnesota with her mom. ref SDS 3

621020 - letter from Maryann at the Nixonpeabody office reporting that Laura's

621022 - for Hospice care. ref SDS 6 155V  Millie responded asking Chris to

621030 - 091125, the day of Maryann's letter, and Laura requested
621031 - communication.  Laura says in her blog on 091125, that, after taking
