Important Message

I will tell you about my week in another blog, but I was reminded yesterday by two life long friends that challenges like my battle with cancer are opportunities to "rise above".  So today, I want to use my voice and this challenge to remind all of you of how we ALL need to RISE UP.

Today, it has been exactly one month since a nurse told me over the phone that I have malignant cancer cells in my breast.  In that month, I have been able to get MRIs, PET/CT, mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies, x-rays and other testing completed, results reviewed, treatment designed AND two weeks of treatment completed with a third round due tomorrow.

If you could see the number of people I see every week from all over the world getting treatment in Houston, you would be proud of what we can do here in Texas and America. These poor people, have to leave their homes and travel across the world to get good health care.   The medical team is also from all over the world, why do you think the best of the best are here? .

I have a friend in Canada, who is a nurse, and she can't believe how fast all the process has been for me.  My friends in England feel the same way.  With IBC days make a difference.  One member of the medical team even stated, "if you are going to have this type of cancer, it's best that you had it now and not next year."  Such a small comment by a member of an elite medical community but such a big message if you are paying attention.

2012 is set to bring big changes in America.  Especially if we just "go with the flow".  I don't want anyone to face the beast that is cancer or any time sensitive disease.  But you all need to think about you or your loved ones facing similar circumstances in the future, right now!

How do you run your business?  If the profit margin falls, don't you stop any excess spending first and then  figure out how to increase income and you do it in a timely fashion.  The same people who are not qualified to run a business are certainly no experts on health care.  IT HASN'T WORKED in other countries, what makes these numskulls think they can make it work for America when they can't even stop the flow of our debt.

I don't pretend to have all the answers.  There are certainly better qualified people, but they should at least be qualified.  We don't hired some guy to work for our company if he has no credentials. A first step might be to stop electing people to office that have no business background.  

The general population in America has been fat and lazy way too long.  And we are about to see what happens when you are lazy.  We must work on protecting our religion of choice, home, family, lives and country on a daily basis.  Wake up!
