I am an entrepreneurial kind of guy. I spent some time in “Hollywood” and thought it was cool that some big movie deals were actually worked out by producers and studios over lunch at a deli and with the terms scratched out on a napkin. It really does happen. So when it comes to partnering on programs for patients, like interviews and webcasts, I believe a producer/host like me should be able to just pick up the phone or send an e-mail to the right person at the national society for this or that and invite them to help publicize a worthy upcoming program.

The world often continues to allow evil because it isn’t angry enough. ~Bede Jarrett One doctor out of many I’ve seen over the past month has been straight with me. She told me that the May, 2006 CT scan showed evidence of the 4 inch mass I have now. The report doesn’t say that. No other doctor will admit that it says that either. I’m not doctor. I’m not stupid either. However when I see a picture of something it’s hard to ignore what’s there. Yes, I finally had the guts to look at the CD with my CT scans and the May CT scan shows the mass. I’m absolutely positive it’s there. In fact I’d bet my house and everything I own on it. There is no mistake that it was there in May. There isn’t an emotion that c...
