I have a good friend, who has a friend, who has another friend, that works for our local newspaper. They are working at getting them to do a story about me. A Human Interest kind of thing.

Certainly, I will share my story. But the real reason that I am interested in talking with them is to bring awareness to "our" kind of cancer.

Since I am very new to this family, I would appreciate your input on what points I should push. I have learned a lot from this site already. I know that making people aware is the real priority. Since I think most of us know what a story such as this ends up like in the paper, I would like to know which are the most important facts that people would like to get out there. I am certain that a lot of what I would say will end up edited out, but I want to make sure to tell them that I won't do in at all, unless the can assure me that they would keep "?????" in.

Now I am not 100% certain that this article will happen, I am thinking that the likelihood is pretty high.

What are your thoughts?

Happy New Year Everyone!

Amy
