Mass General Hospital and ConquerCancer.org

This hospital seems like a great hospital. Every one we talk to up here speaks very highly of it and says we are in the right place. After getting the awesome treatment at Moffitt, our standards are very high now but Mass General, the employees and the other people we have met here are very nice and professional.

We did meet a very nice lady, Susan Zuker, while we were waiting for Heath's appointment on Thursday. Her husband passed away from lung cancer 3 years ago. Her and her two sons wanted to do something to honor his life and his battle with cancer. They did it in a big way. They created their own Massachusetts license plate and founded the Conquer Cancer Coalition of Massachusetts, which receives proceeds from sales of the plates. It is a local nonprofit organization that works in all capacities to conquer all forms of cancer. She said it took a couple years but they got it done. She also reached out to us in a very nice way and gave us a place to go spend the day and have a good time during our stay in Boston. Also, she was there because her mom currently has lung cancer. Her last treatment is Monday. Her cancer was caught early and she is doing fine. I am very glad that our appointment was at 3PM that day. Ironically, it is 6:20PM for the other nine treatments.

Here is a link to their website, www.conquercancer.org. Check it out.

This might be something we can do in Florida with the help of one of Heath's relatives. What do you think Ken? We already told Dr. Agresta that we would like to do something in the future to help out with the foundation that he started. This could be one of those things.

Please continue to keep Heath and his doctors in your prayers as well as Susan's mother.
