The New Voice Chats / Internet Talk Radio / Podcasts

These are going much better than my wildest dreams!

We actually have a backlog of people who want to be interviewed. This is so cool.

I hope that non-Cushies will hear these as well as the current message board members and see themselves or a friend/family member and get the testing that they need.

This Week, Thursday May 1 at 8:30PM eastern (Note later time!)

Monica (Monicaroni) May 1 at 8:30 PM eastern (Note later time!) to talk about the challenges she's faced maintaining her music career while in testing and treatment. The Call-In number is (646) 200-0162.

Monica was diagnosed with Cyclical Cushing's. She had pituitary surgery in November 2006. An 8mm encapsulated pituitary tumor was removed.

Since there was no post-op crash, she also had a BLA in December 2006. Both surgeries were in Seattle. She is now free of Cushing's and am on the road to recovery!

Monica is a professional violinist.

  • Interests:My main interest is to study about what is wrong with me & getting better. I am interested in getting involved in cushings awareness. I think there are so many sick people out there that are misdiagnosed. I would like to see everyone knowing about this disease just like breast cancer!
