Guest DaveG Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Jodi: Connie has told me all about you and how you are an intragal part of the support group in the Twin Cities. The way Connie explains (Connie, of course, has her own way of explaining things, as you well know ) it, you are much the same as she is: bubbly, enthusiastic, and can't stop talking . The first question I have: Is this true? I look forward to learning more about Meso, and hope that others who have meso will join us here. Like NSCLC and SCLC, Mesothelioma has it's stigma as well. With the entire realm of Lung Cancer there is much to be overcome, but we are rapidly making headway. We're not there yet, as much more work is desperately needed, as you and all others well know.
