Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 117 | Congratulations! Although the radiation free club is small, it is growing. Welcome and if I have anything to do with it, there will be many more patients with outcomes like yours, Jerry's and mine. Please stay active in the fight for early detection. You can make a difference.
Good luck,
Barb
