Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 36 | Anita I love your smiley face! I am rocking down the house this Saturday night....um perhaps I mean I am online reading &qarching tv??lol. I am staying up later tonight trying to exhaust myself so hopefully I will escape bad scary dreams about radiation, sigh. I didn't even have it and I dream about it.
I contacted Brian about distributing brochures on oral cancer and I have not felt this good about doing some work in ages. I am under the impression that not much of this information has been made available in Canada and it is my honor and privilege to get the ball rolling where I live. I have good contacts at the largest clinic in Western Canada so that will cover a lot of people! I am determined to help educate others thru their shock, we just got lucky with an amazing doc, Dr Paul Kerr, google him if you like. Dr.Kerr even phoned us in person to check up on me....we were very surprised to say the least!
Light and blessings,
Meggie
