Add checkboxes for location of mets?

Hi Mods,

this suggestion came up in this thread on the stage IV forum. I think it's a good idea so I'm putting it in your suggestion box. Two comments on that thread:

"I filled out the info for my signature but it didn't seem like there was a place for where the mets are. That's one of the things I always want to know about a person too."

"I really only look for what mets they have to find out is going through the same as me, but many have so much info and then just say mets which tells me nothing."

So please add some checkboxes for mets locations, that only accept input if the person making a diagnosis entry answers "yes" to "If your breast cancer is not recurrent, is it metastatic?" Checking the  boxes should either be optional, or "I prefer not to say" should be one of the choices. And please make it possible to check more than one box at a time.

In the meantime, I have added that info to my signature. And FYI, the formatting of this post is acting up. I tried to italicize and indent the two quotes. The tags are in there, I can see them when I open the post for editing, and the formatting looks right in the editing box, but disappears when I save the comment after editing it.

    Thanks for the suggestion curveball.  We are in the process examining these types of improvements so we are glad to have your input!

    Not sure what is going on with the formatting issues.  I tried to edit the post and it is definitely italicized in the preview version.  Ummmmm.... We will look into this.

    Thanks again
