10. What tests showed you to have the disease?

Dec 2011

I remember way back when, when Gilda Radner had cancer, and for over two years the doctors let her know she was simply another hysterical female, running from doctor to doctor trying to get attention.

Her friends and family blamed the medical establishment for her death - if someone had just paid attention and done the proper tests on her earlier, maybe she'd have been a survivor.

I have a small, semi-spiritual script for anyone who is sick. It is called the JoyHealing script - PM me if you want to get a hold of it. Recently one of the top cancer clinics in Northern California has started using the script. (It doesn't cure anything, but helps you stumble back into a feeling of joy and comfort. It's a definite help with anxiety.)
