JoRenge's LIFE BATTLE - Possibilities

Hi,

Researches in the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center found that new onset of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) diabetes in adults age 50 or older may be a signal of underlying pancreatic cancer.

What is necessary is a preventive test for those who are diabetic and have uncontrolled glucose levels and who may be predisposed for Cancer. The need here is to try to detect the Cancer before it has a chance to Metastasize (cancer spreading to distant organs such as the lungs and liver).

Since most insurance companies do not cover preventive testing we are the mercy of time. We need to change this. I'm not sure what the solution is since Insurance Coverage is already high, but something needs to be done. Perhaps an addendum to current policies that "at risk individuals " may pay an additional premium charge so that they will be covered for preventive care testing.

So if you can, Please contact your Congressmen, Senators and Presidential Candidates and tell them of your concerns.


I will try to get more info for you tomorrow. Also I will try to get you a few links.


How I am doing.

I feel very good. My white count is good. My appetitie is good. My outlook is good. My hair is falling out! (I'm going to have my head shaved to day. I always wanted a Yul Brenner Cut especially when I had bad hair days.

I will have a photo on this site in a couple of weeks.

Take care and remember - prayer is our strength. Keep at it.

Thanks for your time.

JoRenge
