🦓 Day 25, Cushing’s Awareness Challenge
At NIH I set up a daily “routine” of sorts and listening to these tapes was a very important part of my day and helped me get through the ordeal of more testing, surgery, post-op and more. When I had my kidney cancer surgery, those tapes were long broken and irreplaceable, but I had replaced […]
🦓 Day 24: Cushing’s Awareness Challenge

Saturday, 4/23/16 really was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time. Suffice it to say, we arrived at the Tattoo and I got no nap at all, all day!

For kidney cancer I found out the risk factors and nearly none apply to me. So why? But why not? No particular reason why […]
📰 From Knee Pain Consultation to Pituitary Surgery: The Challenge of Cushing Disease Diagnosis

Taking into consideration her age, she was screened for osteoporosis, with results that showed diminished bone density. Considering this, combined with other clinical features of the patient, suspicion turned toward […]
🖤 In Memory of Natalie Fay ~ April 21, 2008
Natalie had a BLA in March, 2008. She died April 21, 2008. She was only 42 and had recently had a BLA. I first met Natalie at a local lunch in November of 2001 and have seen her several times since then.
