Tragically, insurance companies end up paying so much MORE for treatment than for these simple tests! We have to keep lobbying and speaking up whenever and wherever we can!

Sorry I won't hear your sweet voice on Weds., Mitch! Safe travels.

Thanks Kathy.

If we can find a way to get the call into the plane going to tulsa, I'd love to be on it.

Spent a bit of time with Dr. Patrick Francke yesterday here in Myrtle Beach. He helps out with our Know Your Score event and is a radiation oncologist. We were discussing the challenge of dealing with the bad press about psa testing and how it affects all of our ability to get already reluctant men to begin the testing and treatment process. He really got passionate about his feeling that this is a mission of the insurance-backed lobby to reduce having to pay for any testing.....sad that even the possibility of that being the case exists.

Thanks to everyone for all you do as the battle continues.

Mitch
