Can you halp Wayne feel not so alone with his issues?

Wayne writes:

I am a long time pituitary patient and have had surgery, and radiation (twice), and currently going through chemo (10 year period). Other than the inconveience of having to go to the Dr. and endless treatments, it really has not been physically bad. Now mentally, it has been a struggle. Even though my family has been very supportive, they do not fully understand the day to day struggles I go through and I have had nobody to discuss my problems with. If you started to discuss your problems, everybody would freak out and want to know if I needed to go to the Doctor. No, I just need someone to talk to, thats all.

Respond in the comment area of Cynthia's bio or post here and I'll try to copy and paste from here.

Author of NIA talks about Cushing's

twinkie from the message board writes:

Hello all! As some of you know I have written and published a book. I'll be interviewed tomorrow (May 25, 2011) and I asked the interviewer if, along with questions about my book, she would ask one or two questions about Cushing's. TRYING to get the word out! I'm also doing a blog tour and most of the hosts have been kind enough to put my bio up on their sites which includes information about cushing's and this site.

Here is the link if you want to listen in: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jennifer-walker/2011/05/25/a-cup-of-coffee-and-a-good-book 

The podcast is at 3:30 Pacific time.

You can also find info regarding my tour at authormellareese.blogspot.com You don't have to buy a book but you could always ask a question about cushings in the comment section of the hosting blog.

Thanks Mary O for this fabulous tool you've created here! You saved my life.
