I accepted the challenge by Caroline Hastings to post the covers of seven books I love — no explanation, no review, just the covers. Each time I post a cover I’ll ask a friend to take up the challenge as well.

Today I challenge a wonderful woman who I really admire Mary Kelly O’Connor who can disregard if she’s already been tagged or doesn’t want to take part (completely understand as I know these posts can be annoying) but I just wanted to select you because as the founder of the website www.cushings-help.com that saved my life when I was diagnosed and I made some wonderful life-long friends all across the World as a result. I am so glad I found that website and the beautiful souls that shared their stories and wealth of knowledge.

The book I have chosen is special and relates to that time when I was questioning why it was all happening to me and my family. Thank you Mary xx

I’m thankful, too, Susan. I’m especially thankful for Mary Kelly O’Connor, who made our meeting each other and other patients possible through her site, www.cushings-help.com. Without all of you and the real advice and advocacy I got there, I don’t think I’d be here. I love my Cushing’s friends! We’ve been down a road nobody else can possibly understand.

Yesterday I read my blog from beginning to end. It was rather emotional for me but I’m so glad I documented as much as I did because I have forgotten a lot of details. What I kept thinking was how much http://cushings-help.com was what got me through, all the information and the support from forum members kept me going. I was going to send you a message to thank you but decided it needed to be said publicly. Thank you so much, you saved my family.

Thanks Mary. This is so kind of you to do all the folllow up you do especially since you are so busy with this site and all the others. You are truly about helping others and being selfless. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Your Cushing’s site is very valuable to the medical community and should be looked at as a resource of knowledge from people experiencing first hand what the medical community writes.

From a comment on this post: CushieWiki

Your efforts need to be recognized and so happy that they were at the major conference. You are proof that one person can affect thousands of others in a positive way. Just wish I had found your site when I was going through Cushings and not after the surgery. But trying to make the most out of the opportunity you have given us survivors to help others understand the illness and cope with it. Thanks again Mary O.
