Cancer, Options

Just the right area for what? Yeah. OK. Got it. Right.

I might be able to do numbers, but I'm not too good with power points. Thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. Thanks to Lorraine, especially Anne Frank, for all your work. I really appreciate that. And the opportunities to speak here to you today. And thanks to Lorraine for more than one reason, not only that, she get in touch with me and invite me to come speak here, but she also named my lecture for me. So thanks, Lorraine. I told her what I was thinking about for the name of the election. She said, Oh, no, no, that's no good. I like this. The world of options. So it's a world of options. Thanks, Lorraine. Great. I really appreciate being here. So what are we going to discuss today, a little synopsis of what we'll talk about here in the next 25 to 30 minutes? First of all, as Frank said, I'm a CPA. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a researcher. I'm a family man. You can see a picture of my wonderful family here that I loved dearly. They're my inspiration. My deceased parents are my inspiration. And I'm just glad to be here to talk to you today and kind of share that. We do have options when we're diagnosed with cancer. And as Brad just said, he kind of stole my thunder a little bit, but I'm going to do it again. Raise your hand if you know somebody is dying of cancer. Nobody is raising their hand now. But before he told you that most cancer patients actually died from chemotherapy, which is one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Alan Levine, M.D.. Most of the room here in excess of 90 percent had raised their hands. So I'm here to tell you that there are options. We're going to look today at the diagnostic options, treatment options. Talk about the immune system. Throw some statistics out there. And at the very end, I'm going to do a book signing in the back if you want to get either my book. So that's kind of a synopsis of what we're going to talk about. Why did I write the book? What what are the CPA who got a master's degree in taxation from Baylor University? Do writing. How did I write a book on cancer? I lost my entire family. Here you see pictures of everyone that I lost. First person that died in my family was my father, Graham Bolinger. He died in 1996. He was diagnosed with cancer on July the 1st, 1996. He died July the 25th
