My New World #14: My Patient Voice
Recently, I was asked by my doctor, Dr. Wolff, to speak at a national symposium on pancreatic cancer at M.D. Anderson. The audience were researchers presenting papers on their latest projects, and, although I didn’t stay ’til the end of the day, Dr. Allison, M.D. Anderson’s Nobel Prize winner, concluded the conference. I wish I had heard him speak, although I am sure I would not have understood a word of any of these technical presentations. I was asked to be the first speaker and to present a patient voice. Dr. Wolff is the gentleman introducing me, and my Granddaughter Saira and my friend Delfine and, of course, my wonderful Milton, all went with me to offer support.
I was pleased with my speech, it was My Story, but horrified at my appearance and the fluttery hands.
Here’s my speech:
Loved your talk. Peace and Love.
Back at you!
Hope your Mom is doing well..she is so incredible…
