An Invitation to my 120th Birthday Celebration.

After 39 years of teaching, my last words to my students on that final day came in the form of an invitation: "You're all invited to my 120th Birthday. Celebrate it by skiing with me." I think it was Sara who shot up her hand saying: "Wait, wait." (pausing for a quick calculation) "I'll be 77 years old!"
"Don't worry." says I, "I'll slow down for you!"

"Never limit yourself." had been an underlying lesson for my students. I realized that I'd need to engineer a comprehensive plan for myself to optimize the quality of my life to 120 and Beyond.

Nichole Carlson, Expert...

As the author of 120 and Beyond, my prostate cancer (PC) diagnosis was a completely unexpected turn of events. But it should have been anticipated as one of every eight men will experience PC.  

Now that I know first hand, my forthcoming book Beyond Testosterone, should be handed to every man at the age of 40 as a road map that will shine a pair of headlights on an alternative route, one that skirts around radiation treatment or surgery. Having that map will eliminate a surprise prostate cancer diagnosis.

Tamaki Ishihara, known to friends and family as Tommie called me the absent minded professor starting in junior high school.  She would not have been surprised to hear that I'd missed a medicare payment and was dropped like a hot potato. No insurance is not the best way to navigate PC. Patricia Vining, my wife, saved me from this fate. She immediately added me to her health insurance plan.

During this change of insurance interval, my radiologist forwarded  a bill for $5,129 bill to me after it was declined by Medicare. I call the
For Billing Questions Please call number on the invoice.

Nicole Carlson answers my call and we complete the needed records update.
Thanks to my talk today with Nichole Carlson, I can be more optimistic because of her 21 years of work in the medical care business.

For example,

For cancer patients with shockingly big medical bills some states provide oncology funding that will pay for their treatment. The problem is they don't know how to get this assistance.

Coming this week, we talk with Nicole Carlson, an expert in medical billing who is also sentient, by that I mean to say that she is a kind and empathetic expert.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE.
