Amazing Quote!! ...

I was at Mayo last week for prostatectomy and saw this quote in the subway between buildings. It has been rattling around my brain since then. I think it’s insanely powerful and spot on. Too bad our country can’t figure out how to put health ahead of profit.



My surgery went very well and I am recovering ahead of expectations. Pathology confirmed it did not spread anywhere beyond my prostate, thank dog! Will likely have some continence and ED issues but today I am cancer free!!!

And Dr. Mayo was correct. No doubt why Kraznov has attacked our scientific institutions.

Healing vibes on the way to you.
