The Countdown Begins…

Only 2 days until the Cushing’s Awareness Challenge 2015 begins.  At night, when I’m supposed to be sleeping, ideas for posts keep swarming through my head.  Sometimes, they form into fully-written posts.  Then, when I wake up, the posts are gone.

I plan to follow the suggestions to some extent and have a few ideas of my own.  Over the years, I’ve posted lots on several blogs but I don’t know if I can get 30 days of Cushing’s stuff together…again!  This is the fourth year of the Cushing’s Awareness Challenge.

At the moment, there are 14 participants in this challenge and growing.  Please follow their blogs.  The list is on the right side and is constantly updated as new URLs come in.

If you want to join us, its not too late.  Directions and suggestions for posts can be found here: http://cushie-blogger.blogspot.com/2015/03/cushings-awareness-challenge-2015.html

If you have ideas for what you’d like to read about (Cushing’s related, of course), please feel free to put it in the comments area.

Posted on March 13, 2015 by MaryO

Please join the Pituitary Network Association and The Ohio State University for a Pituitary Patient Symposium featuring a series of pituitary and hormonal patient education seminars presented by some of the top physicians of pituitary and hormonal medicine. The symposium faculty will share the most up-to-date information and be available to answer your most pressing questions.

Following the Patient Symposium you are cordially invited to attend Pituitary Network Association’s Gentle Giant Award Reception and Dinner. Join us in honoring Dr. Daniel Prevedello for his exemplary accomplishments in the field of pituitary medicine.  Dr. Prevedello is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical center and Director of OSU’S Minimally Invasive Cranial Surgery Program.  Dr. Prevedello is internationally recognized in the field of minimally invasive surgery for brain, pituitary, and skull based tumors and has been a member of Best Doctors of America the last five years.  As a practicing neurosurgeon for over 15 years, Dr. Prevedello has performed over 1,800 procedures of which, over 800 were using the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach.  His current surgical practice encompasses the full spectrum of brain and skull based tumors, both benign and malignant, treated with minimally invasive and conventional approaches.

Registration is available for one or both events. The Patient Symposium registration fee is $30 and includes continental breakfast and lunch*. The Award Reception and Dinner is $50 per person or $80 for two (bring a friend or loved one and receive a discount of $20 on the purchase of 2 tickets).
