Dear Judy and others,

Thanks for responding.  I spoke with the mom yesterday.  I really hated to
mention tumor but knew I couldn't withhold.  She said things were better.
Problem was possibly related to fact they had been @ beach and had lots of
company.  I told her how relieved I was,  yet still mentioned your ideas
about other possibilities.

Spoke with her husband today, who said he would check things out as well.
 Then I faxed him the information from Ruth Lawrence's book.

As far as tasting the milk goes, hasn't salty taste been attributed to
mastitis as well?

I'm so glad we have this forum.  I feel like I have 293 mentors that I can
call on for any help.  How did we ever do our jobs before Lactnet?  (But,
then, how will we ever do anything else.) What hobbies do I have?  Lactnet!
 It's amazing how often it can come up in conversations.

I think I'm rattling on.  Sorry.
