Ok so I read this story the other day in US and now Im really upset

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebritynews/news/pic-kate-middleton-rev...


Please go to the link above and hopefully you will share my frustration. I read this story and couldnt believe that this so called doctor called and AVM a birth-mark that was not serious. Not serious? My AVM has turned my life upside down since my diagnosis and its barely starting to get back on track. I feel like writing a letter to US so they understand that they need to check their sources before writing crap like this!!

I'm sorry DM, I misspoke (well mistyped ;). It was the speak up section below the article and looking at it just now, the comments have increased (and I recognize a few names)! In addition to the comments, I wrote a letter which I will send on the 18th (time to allow everyone that wants to to respond). I posted the letter on here and can certainly add your name if you like or anyone else's for that matter. Just let me know before the 18th. Thank you again Jenny and Christine for bringing this to our attention. Hope you're doing well DM!

You know Jenny wrote about this too. It's certainly more than frustrating... Here's my idea... perhaps if a big magazine like US picked up the story about Kate Middleton we can collectively all call or write the magazine with complaints and to help provide awareness. Yes I did read the facebook posts and they were awesome! One or two complaints however wont matter to them but fifty? a hundred? Anyone? I'd be happy to call or write and even post a generic letter on here we can all send to make it easier for everyone but we need to get the word out. It's just an idea. What do you think?
