Gunfighter --- MSWW rocks doesn't she...

so now on to 500.  It will happen...just a matter of time.

Thanks gunfighter! You are too kind. :)

I do have a suggestion for all who submitted a letter... We could get closer to the goal of 500, if not exceed it, just by having your spouse/significant other and all grown children sign one too.

Just with my immediate family we signed 12 letters. My best friends who know all about Mr. WW's Pca added 4 more.

We really wouldn't have to reach that far out to get the letter count goal.

Getting each state seems like that would have been the hard part.

This news was posted in a recent thread, but I thought it important that those that participated in this effort be notified. It looks like the USPSTF are in the process of changing their recommendation on PC screening:
