Most of you know I have had DBS surgery when it was still experimental and since have volunteered to be a candidate for research studies. I spent 12 days at NIH last year and now have been invited to Cornell University in New York to give them a couple of pet scans. In return, Cornell is delaying the return flight so my husband and myself can see New York. If you had two days in New York what would you try to see? My other piece of information to the group is that I have given a written release to my story of Parkinson's to Medtronic and hopefully they will plan to have me speak through out the country in their behalf. So many things still need to be done before we can get to a cure. We can't just sit there and wait. Do SOMETHING, call a congressman. We all have something we can do. DO IT NOW! This is a message to anyone that has not yet had Parkinson's for as long as I have. 56/20 jjjane http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/medical/palross/palross.htm
