✍️ MaryO – 18 Years Cancer-Free!
Today is the Eighteenth Anniversary of my kidney cancer surgery. These eighteen years have been bonus years for me. For my cancer stage, the 5-year survival rate was 81% and I’ve made it more than three times that long – so far.
🖤 In Memory of Melinda Smith ~ May 9, 2014
Sadly, we lost another Cushing’s patient on Friday, May 9, 2014. Melinda was a member of the Cushing’s Help message boards since Jun 24, 2007. She was only 25 and left behind a young son and many loving family members.

The condition remained for years, and became more acute with my cushings pit tumor. I still have high blood pressure, partially teated with three meds. I'll have to consult my doc and see […]

🦓 Comment added to Day 30, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
For this year, anyone remember Karnac from Johnny Carson? I hold in my hand...? And the cued audience starts cheering, seemingly delighted that this is the last question?
🦓 Day 30, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
Today is the final day of the Cushing’s Awareness Challenge and I wanted to leave you with this word of advice… To that end, I’m saving some of what I know for future blog posts, maybe even another Cushing’s Awareness Challenge next year.
🦓 Day 29, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
In 1983 I came across a little article in the Ladies Home Journal which said: “If you have these symptoms…” I found the row with my symptoms and the answer read “…ask your doctor about Cushing’s”.
🦓 Day 28: Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
I had found out that I had my kidney cancer on Friday, April 28, 2006 and my surgery on May 9, 2006. I was supposed to go on a Cushie Cruise to Bermuda on May 14, 2006. My surgeon said that there was no way I could go on that cruise and I could not […]
