Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Hi Aldyth, Thanks for buying my new book and thanks for the update--I still haven't received my copies. We have lots of trouble with our address living out in the boonies, so it's good to know the book really does exist. Best, Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Hi Aldyth and Elaine ! That is so exciting knowing your copy arrived all the way in the UK already Aldyth ! I ordered mine the first day it was posted and my book arrived here in Oregon on Oct. 24 th. That is seven days from time of ordering... less a couple of hours. ( grin ) The most interesting thing is that Trafford Publishing is an 'on demand' publisher. That means they only print the books after they receive the order No wasted trees being cut down ! So seven days was great in my view, but to think Aldyth has hers so far away just blows my mind ! I just went back to their home page, to have this link to share... http://www.trafford.com/4dcgi/contactoffices.html and got to looking around Found 's book on thyroid cancer. Never knew it existed. I have been researching this subject lately , only because it seems to be so easily passed over by all our doctors, and we, as a group, do not have enough facts. Knowledge is my best way to feel secure in all my choices in life, and since Graves' does put us at greater risk for thyroid cancer, right now while I do have a bit of time, it has been enlightening. I was so glad to see this book by I called and ordered it just now. I have had a few issues with her Thyroid Source book, but at least it is on the shelves in most book stores, and that alone is something good. I strongly disagree with some of her statements concerning treatment for Graves', but was surprised to note, on the web site it reveals she had thyroid cancer. Perhaps this affected her view concerning RAI for Graves' patients. ??? I can see how it would create more focus on thyroid cancer than current knowledge on Graves' treatment. I know my main problem is there is no clear statement in the TS book, that she is NOT a medical doctor. Patients assume she is. I did. You now all have my rant of the day, and my admission that despite this, I DID just purchase a book by her. ______________________________________________ Elaine... Call at the order desk and she will track your order and let you know where it is. She is the nicest gal. We had talked when I ordered your book, and now again today. I even told her yours are not there yet. :-) and that Aldyth and I have ours. LOL Now she will enjoy hearing from you. ( grin ) ________________________________________________ I love this Thyroid Eye disease book. It is a much easier read than A Practical Guide... for those of you wondering, and it does have interesting things here and there that I had not found out in my online searching. Great job Elaine ! Thank you ! -Pam L- 3 1/2 years Graves', TED, and PTU. Remission since Jan. 28th. 2002 !

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Thanks, Pam, I'm glad you ordered 's cancer book too. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age 22 and found no info on it. Her mother also had Graves' disease and they couldn't find info. That was her motivation for writing the original sourcebook. Since, she's branched out into publishing and earned her PhD in medical ethics and is publishing books on hard to find topics. It was her idea that I write the eye book and they hadn't used illustrations before so this was a challenge for them. I haven't ordered the book but should be getting authors' copies one of these days. These I'll send to Jody, Mona, and the other people who shared anecdotal stories. I'm glad you reminded them to send mine, elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
