Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I am so glad they used Rosie Mitchell and Heather for the story. How different Heather's fate might have been if she had been diagnosed earlier. She was the first person I thought of when the writer posted looking for the story. She just didn't fit the profile, 29 and a non-smoker. So sad. I am looking forward to reading this article. Any chance of CURE magazine picking it up?
Take care,
Eileen
