February 2008 Newsletter

 

Hello Everyone & Welcome to our February 2008 Newsletter

As many of you read about in our January newsletter the Foundation has launched a Colonoscopy Patient Preference Survey on the Website at www.coloncancerfoundation.org .

While we are not affiliated with the technolgy itself we remain committed to any new technology that can save lives.  Your Input Is NEEDED!

A major research university in Israel has been awarded a significant endowment to develop an innovative colonoscopy technology that may improve detection rates, increase patient comfort and address other patient preferences. This university is seeking the input of at least 300 patients who have previously had at least one colonoscopy, or are scheduled for a colonoscopy within the next 90 days. This information is critical  to technology development. The research entity will reward the first 300 individuals who meet the criteria, and complete the multiple choice survey of approximately 40 questions a $20 Amazon.com certificate or if desired, you can donate the $20 to Susies Cause. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete, and the information will be transmitted directly to the researchers committed to this worthwhile project.  Please take a few minutes now and visit our site www.coloncancerfoundation.org and click on the link to the anonymous survey.

We are asking all of our subscribers that qualify not only to personally complete the survey but please  forward this request to everyone you know who have previously had at least one colonoscopy, or are scheduled for a colonoscopy within the next 90 days.  

Your generosity will continue to enable our foundation to continue its mission to eradicate Colon Cancer as a life threatening disease. Please visit the donations section of our website and help us to reach our goals. For assistance please call our National headquarters at 410 244 1778. As always, you can reach me at bobby@coloncancerfoundation.org.
