I was diagnosed with cancer this week, but I can get the treatment I need. THANKS OBAMA!!!

Last edited Mon Jan 11, 2016, 09:38 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm so glad that I live in Minnesota, and at this time in human history, where the miracles of modern medical science and Obama-care allow me to obtain treatment and likely be cured.

I still think we need universal, single-payer coverage (Go Bernie!), but I'm thankful that I have what I have.

Again, thanks Obama.

Update: Based on the voicemail from my oncologist regarding the CT scan I had today, the cure worked and the cancer is gone!

Tomorrow I'll be half way through the treatment protocol. Things are looking promising for cure so far. We'll know at the end.

12 more treatment days go to. Going well, but not fun at all.

Thanks to those offering encouragement.
