greetings...it's a beautiful sunny hot day down here in orlando...i'm planning to spend some time in the pool as i have the entire day to just relax......i sincerely want to express my gratitude to all the people who have responded to my blogging...i had unwittingly set my blog to invisible and i wondered why no one at all had any feedback...(thank you again steve for your help in correcting this)...well now with the feedback thusfar i feel the glorious support of other survivors squarely behind me...it really does makes a huge difference!...i'm thankful that a close friend has volunteered to accompany me to kiev...they will give her her own room in the clinic i'll be treated in...we will have meals together...this is included in the cost of the treatment....i imagine i'll have some shaky moments now that we are all set to leave next week...(understatement)...and that's okay...it goes with the territory...but i'll have my friend to hold my hand if necessary...i'm looking for ways to get some media coverage of this whole experience...i think it's important that other survivors know that this therapy is available...albeit offshore....and important to continue to raise the consciousness that people need to start advocating for change so that in the future no one has to fly to a second world country for a treatment that should be available in the most advanced country in the world...once again, my heartfelt thanks to all my peers on this site who are rooting for me...

tomorrow peter sidorenko the COO of scti,inc. is coming to orlando from tampa to meet me...he'll show me slides of the clinic in kiev and go over more of the protocols involved in this treatment...i'm looking forward to meeting him ang getting more info about what is in my near future...his availability has been amazing and much appreciated...more later...best, richxxx
