A Buddy from NC Shares Info On A New Cancer Tool

Got an email from Buddy Sarah who is waging a tough fight against breast cancer. Though Sarah is currently living in North Carolina she used to live in the metro area. Sarah heard about this report from a Pennsylvania station and thought it would be of interest to the Buddies in her old hometown.
It's about a massive new tool in the fight against cancer. The report deals with the arrival of a CYCLOTRON at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia. The CYCLOTRON's Proton-beam therapy is more targeted, more effective and does less harm to healthy tissues than the radiation most facilities now use in cancer treatment. To see the full report on the CYCLOTRON click here

Thanks Sarah for sharing. And what about the rest of you? Remember something you say or do may help another Buddy
