Some newbies on the site may not how much has happened over the last year with inspire and BCAN...if you look to the right it gives you some of the
functions that have taken place..one was the conference at the Cleveland Clinic..held in May,, another was the North Carolina Picnic Nancy and Jersey guy put together. You may want to drop in and see how everyone shared there stories....
For me....the interview my husband did with our Cleveland news channel raps up how he felt.......done 5 days before the Conference at the Cleveland Clinic.
The interview, short, but the message is clear how he felt...its on his face........

Another way to see it is
go to...wkyc news channel 3 cleveland ohio
click videos
search.....Gene Beane....
I think he speaks for alot of men
and woman, frightened of Bladder Cancer

Click on the BCAN logo....the events of our picnic also on the site, Nancy's interview with her husband as well..and the article in the Asheville Times Gazette.
Trying to get the word out for National Recognition.
How ever we can...
