Brian,

I have been writing and rewriting a letter to the Oprah show for a while and I just can't get the tone right. I want exposure to raise public awareness and I want people to know not to take "it's nothing" for an answer when there has been no definitive diagnostic testing done. Maybe 20/20 -- I kind of have a contact at ABC news. Possibly at NBC news too.
