She now has to get x-rays and ultrasounds and a number of necessary treatments to make sure the cancer doesn't spread anywhere else. I didn't know what to say to my co-worker until now.

I wish your wife many healthy days now and in the future; how tough it must be for both of you to deal with. <br /><br />Congratulations on your book! <br /><br />I don't know if you are already familiar with the Public Safety Writers Association (of which I've been a member for several years now; I've attended their conference the past three years), but you may find the group helpful; if you'd like to learn more, visit: http://policewriter.com/wordpress/<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Kathleen A.

Shortly before my retirement I received a classic "call to ministry." She stayed on the job for ten more years. And for nearly 20 years now after my retirement I have served as a pastor. Now I have put my thoughts together about policing. I think I now have the distance. My new book is “Arrested Development: A Veteran Police Chief Sounds Off About Protest, Racism, Corruption and the Seven Steps Necessary to Improve Our Nation’s Police” (Amazon.com) and my blog is at http://improvingpolice.wordpress.com.

This is unacceptable; people in the medical community should listen to patients carefully. <br />I had no idea there was a type of breast cancer that was difficult to detect on a mammo or sonogram...this wasn't widely known eight years ago, and it still isn't public knowledge today. This bill is a step in the right direction; public officials are recognizing that mammograms may not reveal cancer, esp. in the case of dense breast tissue, and they wish to hold radiology professionals accountable to their patients when they may need additional screening. <br />I think of you and Lana often, you are always in my prayers. I hope she is feeling well these days.Kathleen A.

One doctor even suggested it was just because she was getting fat. Finally someone listened to her and it turned out to be cancer. it's awful when this kind of thing happens.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
