Estela Casas to discuss life with cancer at Press Club event.

KVIA anchor and long time El Paso journalist Estela Casas revealed earlier this year that she had thyroid cancer. Since then, she has gone into remission and is now advocating for regular cancer screening.

Please join the El Paso Press Club at 10 a.m. this Saturday, Sept. 18, as it hosts a conversation with Estela Casas about life before, during and after cancer. The event is at the El Paso Times, 300 N. Campbell. Parking is available across the street.

Joining Casas will be local oncologist Maria Chona Aloba, who will discuss treatment and support groups in El Paso for people living with cancer.

This event is part of the El Paso Press Club's "Meet the Press" series, which brings monthly programming of hot topics and news items to the public. The event is open to members of the press club and the public in general.

For more information please call 546-6133 or email greveles@elpasotimes.com.

I'll be there with some bells on. Her's is such an inspirational and thought provoking story that I would not want to miss it for all the coffee in Seattle. I only hope that this lady doctor will be bring a slide show or movie of some sort in order to help us visualize the screening process and learn about all the minutiae that oncologists take for granted. With the health care debacle in this country, this may be my only chance to see a real live doctor up close for quite awhile. Gustav didn't say anything about free grub but surely they'll put out some coffee and donuts or what have you.

Also, for gayboy's sake, I sure hope the rest of the KVIA family will be there to lend support, especially including that gorgeous hunk of man meat that does the sports.

I got tied up this morning and I had to cancel. Can anyone clue me in to what was said or at least give me the gist of which way the wind was blowing?
