Working on more story angles for BC article

(please refer to my post from yesterday entitled "YOUR INPUT NEEDED for breast cancer article"....)


THANKS!! Your responses have made me think of these other possible points to bring out in this story--so please post your thoughts on these topics as well. Please post your thoughts, experiences, opinions, whatever....I am in the brainstorming mode right now and have not solidified the entire direction of this story. I only get 2,000 words so I want to choose them wisely :-)


1. Difficulty getting cutting edge care in other countries (Lyn--I LOVED your comment about your health care officials perhaps thinking that you all are aliens that are different than humans in other countries--can I use that???)...and even having trouble getting treatment from providers in our country--there are several cases on this website of women who have not been able to get treatment protocols that are readily offered elsewhere in the country.

2. How the internet has empowered us and supported us (I need to get details from Christine about what was said about this website when she was in California).

3. The power of positive attitiude, faith, etc on our recovery and maintaining our health status.

4. The future will be individualized, targeted therapies based on the pathology of our specific cancer cells, staging, etc.


thanks!
