Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Wheeling Hospital had Cancer Survivors day the 1st . There was a really good turnout tht I would judge to be a few hundred people. There was enough food to feed the Ohio Valley, thanks to Dr Jondavid Pollock. This is the Dr that was right about my cancer and rads and chemo from the get go. It was a great day for everyone there. Just thought I would tell you about it. There is a survivors day at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium the 15th of this month. It's sponsored by The Ohio State James Cancer Center and will be quite the day. Everything , including addmission is free to survivors and familes. You even get to chose what time you want your meal. LOL Ihope to see JeffL there . Have a good day all.
