Re: Hello All You Wonderful Folks/need help

[Guest guest]

Speaking of spreading the word, I need some help.

I have a few bullheaded co-workers that don't understand how critical a

screening can be. Maybe down the road if the chemo hits me worse, they will

see a small piece of what one has to go thru.

In the meantime, I am on my little crusade to get some of these folks to the

doc. I know there are several of us out there, under 50 that have been

diagnosed. I am wondering if you would send me a brief summary of you with

your age and diagnosis that I could share with these stubborn ones to convince

them that they should not wait until they are 50 for a screening.

You can send to my personal email wilkinsondjm@... and then we won't

bog down the message board. I just think if they can see some real stories,

that will hit home. Maybe we should all send these to the President for

Priscilla too!

Any help would be appreciated. Hugs and prayers, donna

Thanks Jolene. And I hope what I said didn't feel like scolding. It is your

campaign, everyone's campaign, whether we claim ownership or not. 365 people a

day die from this cancer. Those lives demand justice. And justice is using

the tools that we have that will enable us to end this cancer. Will we end it?

Not entirely. There will always be people who do not take proper care of

themselves. Look at the fact that we beat polio in this country back in the

late 50s early 60s. Yet now there are a few cases popping up again because

some parents are chosing not to have the polio vaccine given to their kids. But

it is possible to never have another polio victim. And that is also possible

with colon cancer - if screening is mandated to be available for all adults.

Yesterday I sent out a bracelet order for a wedding that is coming up. Instead

of wedding favors they decided to honor a family member who lost their battle

with colon cancer by giving every guest a colon cancer bracelet. That is so

cool.

I also accepted a donation from a Kindergarten class whose teacher beat colon

cancer this past school year. Those little ones raised $275 to honor their

teacher. And I cried when I read the letter. All people have power. These

children naturally accepted that and did a great thing. We all have power too.

All the power we need to end colon cancer.

Its different with most cancers. The researchers don't know what most cancers

look like before they are cancer. The screening for most cancers is not any

where near as effective and accurate as a colonoscopy (and now virtual

colonoscopy - even though the medical community is slow to accept the research

that demonstrated that). We have the tools. They found the answer. But they

will not be able to make this happen without us. All the insurance companies

and PACS in the world will not be able to stop a determined bunch of people

doing the right thing. And it is the right thing. 56,000 lives lost each year

that we together can save by joining forces and demanding this change.

For once in our lives we have an opportunity to save 56,000 lives. Guaranteed.

Not many will ever be able to say that. You're gonna look at your grandkids

someday and say " The ending of colon cancer? Yeah kid. I was there. "

Definitely send them to President Bush! His eyes need opening on this.

Sharing the stories might not work with your co-workers. Plan a campaign that

starts with humor. Make up some signs like the old Burma Shave signs and put

them along the path they have to walk to get to their desk. Do this for a

couple of weeks. Then try the stories - but with pictures.
