I am a Head and Neck Surgeon in Phoenix, Az. We are seeing an increase incidence in throat cancer in younger people which is due to the HPV virus. In the past throat cancer was mainly due to smoking. People need to be aware that their sexual practices when younger can result in serious problems when they get older. People should be aware of the signs of cancer. Masses in the neck are fairly common and are often the first physical findings of throat cancer.

I have been taking care of people with throat cancer for 20 years. Unfortunately the majority of patients we see already have advanced disease so we need to make people more aware of the disease. It is not publicized like breast cancer but it should be. The diagnosis is very important but the treatments can be very interesting to the general audience. We now use lasers and robototic technology to remove the cancers which can be shown to the audience on video.

Please do a show to talk about people and how to deal with people that have seizures or other disorders like this.The misconceptions people have about people that have it and abstruse irreverent way they sometimes deal with epileptics. People still think that you are suppose to put something in their mouth so they don't swallow their tongue?? In the news media they have had many celebrities that have had seizures due to past drug addictions and eating disorders. I have epilepsy because it runs in my DNA and I did not do anything to bring this medical condition upon me. There are children and they get taunted for having it in school, people are scared about things they don't under stand. There is so much research for other illnesses and I feel there is not enough with epilepsy. I have been told I can't go on a field trip with my daughter because I would scare the other children even though there are kids at the school with epilepsy. The child had a seizure and no one really knew how to deal with it. My husband asked for a one story in the housing that we are living in and the manager said " It's only epilepsy" so if I have a seizure on the stairs it could be devastating. I have had two in the shower and there was water in the bottom and my husband had to pull me out because i almost drowned. Anyway...there are a lot of things that we do have to worry about but we still go on. I just want to have an understanding and I want to openly talk about it. A show about people like me maybe with a heart condition? We need to be informed. The kids at school as well instead of pretending it doesn't exist it does. The teachers need to know it could happen to anyone.

World AIDS Day is on 1 December every year and people around the world come together to fight against HIV, show support for people living with HIV, and remember those who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.

Being educated and getting tested are the first steps to empowering yourself and others
We need to empower ourselves and start making better choices for our health and spread the word.

This segment should seek to has a certain look. It doesn't matter your age or career HIV looks like all of everyone. Anyone could be at risk. I seek to motivate women and men in our communities to get tested and change their view of HIV. After hearing Catherine Wyatt-Morley speak in Nashville, TN I realized how important this issue is and that we need to take a stand and change the stigma by speaking about HIV.

Catherine Wyatt-Morley knows firsthand the complexities of being a mother living with HIV and getting that dreaded news “You have AIDS”, given the intersections of rearing children-school, navigating work, religion, doctors, rejection, and other systems that often silence women’s care. She is a woman, whose story is about what it is like to be dishonored in married, becoming a single mother infected with HIV and living with AIDS, the dilemma of minority acceptance or rejection, workplace discrimination, including corporate law suits, the reality of risks facing married women, and the effects on the children of infected parents. She would be a great Woman to represent not only a mother living with HIV, but those activists currently working daily to change HIV in our communities.

Catherine Wyatt-Morley is founder of W.O.R.T.H., the first HIV positive women’s support group in Nashville Tennessee (1994). Catherine is the producer of the video Reasons To Live: Women, Their Families and HIV (1996) and the author of the internationally acclaimed book AIDS Memoir Journal of an HIV Positive Mother, (Kumarian Press, 1997) and Positive People, Combating HIV and AID(Trafford Publishing 2006). Catherine has continued her authorship with a third work and is currently seeking its publication.

She is Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Women On Maintaining Education and Nutrition, (W.O.M.E.N.) a 501(c) 3 community based organization (1994). W.O.M.E.N. is the only HIV/AIDS focused community based agency found, organized and administered by an African American mother living with AIDS in the state of Tennessee. Currently, Catherine has become a Distinguished Faculty Member, Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Company Speakers Bureau, where she is a highly sought after speaker. She has received numerous awards and honors. Her contributions to women’s health, new awareness relative to HIV disease specifically to children, teen’s, and women are phenomenal.

bleeding disorders are more common than you think.
women get hemophilia too
there is no such thing as being a carrier when it comes to bleeding disorders: it's all about the levels of clotting factors
