Hi Folks!
How many of you read the Acromegaly News over in the sidebar? I take a look at it from time to time, and I found one of the current articles up there to be particularly exciting - It talks about the the Kanzius Method of treating pediatric brain cancer, which may be one day applied to pituitary tumors! Very interesting idea, and I hope there is funding and support for more research! Here's the article in the news bar:

It seems the person who invented this method passed away recently (John Kanzius, R. I. P.) but his legacy is quite profund. I read his obituary and discovered that he is quite a remarkable person- he seems quite brilliant and accomplished despite never earning a college degree. I encourage you to take a look at his obituary for yourself!
Anyway, the message of this post is to remind people that there is progress in the treatment of acromegaly!
