Why do you want to get on the news? To raise awareness? To site insurance problems?

Hi Susan. Someone in our support group contacted the person who writes the Health Section (where they announce things like support groups for cancer, mental health, etc.) of our local paper and they did a story on her. She is going to follow her through surgery. I think she just called the newspaper and left a message for that person and she returned her call. After the first article, the TV stations contacted her to do stories. Hope this helps
