Asked to speak at Nat'l Cancer Survivor's Day

Reverend Dedera Baker, the minister at Weinberg's OPC and a long-time friend, called to ask if I'd speak at Mercy's National Cancer Survivor's Day event, Sunday, June 3, at 2:30 p.m. in the hospital's new Bunting Center. I just laughed and asked what made her think I'd still be around in June? When I asked why they wanted me to speak she said it was because of my sense of humor. That and, I bet, because I'm one of the few patients whose paperwork has filled seven folders in Dr. Neil Rosenshein's office. Fortunately I'll be one of three speakers and only have to talk about 5 minutes. You know me, that should be a piece of cake.
