Andrew Schorr:

We're live on KVI Talk Radio 570. Patient Power is coming up next where we will hear the story of a 59-year-old woman from Bellevue who thought she was seeing the early signs of menopause, and it turned out to be cancer. Are there lessons here for the women you know? There are, including your opportunity to ask questions of leading experts in the field. It's all next for you live on Patient Power on KVI Talk Radio 570.

Andrew Schorr:

Good morning around Seattle, Western Washington, listening on KVI and wherever you may be around the world on the internet, I'm Andrew Schorr. This is Patient Power, the only live program on commercial radio anywhere where week after week we cover new topics, important chronic illnesses and cancers and connect you with leading experts who can help you or someone you care about get the very best medical guidance and make smart decisions and also empower you as a patient.

Our program is sustained with wonderful financial funding to help us continue week after week. We've been doing it almost two years. I want to thank the University of Washington Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, now the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance as well and the Virginia Mason Medical Center. They care so much about you they want this program to be on the air, on their websites as well and on my website patientpower.info that about 10,000 people are using monthly now so that you can get the best.

I want you to meet somebody who became a powerful patient advocate. For me it happened because I had leukemia and then sought out the best care, and I'm here today because of it. Gina Milano is 59. She is a mom and a grandmom, and she is from Bellevue. And a couple years ago she at her age, you know, thought she was going through menopause, ladies, had spotting, you know what that is. And she went to her doctor, and the thought was maybe that's what was going on. It was all associated with menopause, made sense, right?

But, Gina, that's not the way it turned out, was it? You relaxed for a while, but you also wondered, right?

Gina:

Yes.

Andrew Schorr:

What ended up happening?
