That's so good of him; he provides such a wealth of information, and has such a refreshingly open mind.

Penny, in about 30" you should be able to hear it here: http://www.blogtalkr...m/CushingsHelp/

MaryO will upload it to iTunes soon, too, and you can find it there with the keyword Cushing's. (I think that's how I find them...lol!)

Hugs,
Robin

Thanks Robin, I was listening when is was talking about hyperplasia and it cut out and started to buffer again. This is really something I wanted to hear about. I can't wait to listen.

Thanks again.
