About MaryO
Cushing's and kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) patient, founder, owner and webmaster of Cushing's Help and Support, web designer, piano teacher and mom.
I am a Cushing's patient who has dealt with Cushing's symptoms since 1983 (or earlier) and the aftereffects of pituitary surgery since 1987.
Because I had very little support for my symptoms, diagnosis and surgery, I decided to try to make things a little better for other patients and started a support site called Cushing's Help and Support in 2000. The site has grown to astronomical numbers. This disease isn't as rare as doctors have told us!
In 2006, I was also diagnosed with kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). My left kidney and adrenal gland were removed. Having an adrenal gland removed complicates my post-Cushing's symptoms.
I am not planning to have any more rare and unusual diseases.
My entire bio to date can be found here: http://www.cushings-help.com/maryos_story.htm
But, enough of that - it's not always about Cushing's, or even Cancer. This one is about Life!

CELEBRATION OF CHILDREN
SING ‘N CELEBRATE SERVICE
THIS COMING SUNDAY, OCT. 6 AT 6:30 PM
We hope you are planning to join us for this special time of casual worship when children will show us how they are learning to believe the things that Jesus taught and to do the things that Jesus did.
In keeping with this theme, our children will be filling a bin with unwrapped, NEW toys and books for less fortunate children.
Our collection of toys and books will continue until the time when all that we have collected needs to go to the Marines for their Toys For Tots distribution before Christmas.
