July 28, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Did anyone notice a senate vote on healthcare costs from insurance mistakes? It happens everyday across America. Has it happened to you? On a regular basis throughout my healthcare adventure with HPV16 throat cancer I’ve been billed by mistake. Take yesterday for example.

HPV16 EXPLAINED BY WASHINGTON POST, HPVANDME.ORG

July 20, 2017 by David Gillaspie

CANCER TECHNOLOGY TO THE RESCUE

June 30, 2017 by David Gillaspie

How far has cancer technology come? The machine in the picture delivers radiation therapy, radio therapy, prescribed by radiation oncologists. It looks like it belongs on the wing of a jet. Standing about six feet tall, five feet deep, it hooks into the patient related gear in the treatment room. I used to show up […]

SECOND OPINION: WILL THAT BE ONE CHEMO OR TWO

June 26, 2017 by David Gillaspie

From cancer.org: Cancer cells tend to grow fast, and chemo drugs kill fast-growing cells. But because these drugs travel throughout the body, they can affect normal, healthy cells that are fast-growing, too. Damage to healthy cells causes side effects. Side effects are not always as bad as you might expect, but many people worry about […]

FAT SHAME, FIT SHAME, SHAME SHAME

June 25, 2017 by David Gillaspie
