Loving the PBS cancer special

[denise15601]

Started last night, second show tonight...will end tomorrow.

from 9 - 11 pm.

Sure can see myself and my treatment in the one tonight.  Also really appreciating the fact that I am still here.

We appreciate that you are still here, too

I don't watch TV much but that sounds like one I could have watched.

I saw the Polio treatment on 60 minutes. It actually makes so much sense. I really hope it passes FDA trials and becomes safer. I missed the PBS specials.

For those who didn't see it. They inject Polio into the tumor and it makes your immune system attack and destroy the tumor. Pretty amazing stuff!

I will try to watch tonight. They are making significant progress.

SO happy you're still here, Denise! Your story gives others hope and it's so kind of you to share your knowledge and experience with both RL people and on the boards. Your courage and positive attitude are truly inspirational.

I haven't watched it.

For those who saw it, it told the story about Herceptin and that is what has kept me here for 13 years. Anxious to see it tonight.

But to see those babies with cancer was so distressing.

The special was wonderful. Ken Burns does an awesome job on on his documentaries.

I have a sister who is a cancer survivor. I'll e-mail her now and tell her to watch for it. I think PBS has different schedules in different parts of the country. Thanks for the HU. We're glad you're here too.

ETA: I just checked our local PBS schedule. The first episode of the series repeats here on Sunday (4/5) afternoon. So if anyone wanted to see it but missed it, check your local schedules.
