"It is important for us to stay on top of the new discoveries in medicine connected to mesothelioma and your website does just that.”

"South Florida's changed so much," says Howard Ornstein, who relocated to the Sunshine State with his family in the 1950's. "Time was you could see straight to the water, but with all of the over building and high rise construction, Miami Beach is invisible unless you're on the front row."

The early days of South Florida bring back halcyon memories for Howard and his wife Roselyn. "Parkland is just like a little town, even though it's on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale. Growing up our kids did everything, tennis, karate, horseback riding, the local football team…everyone knew everyone else."

Back in March of 2008, Howard was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma. In his search for treatment, he land his wife Roselyn left no stone unturned.

• Chemotherapy did a good job for awhile, but the Ornsteins were always on the look out for new treatments.
• In 2009 they visited the ITL clinic in the Bahamas.
• In 2009 they also visited with Dr. Robert Taub in New York.
• Howard took supplements made from asian mushrooms that he says, "help slow the progression of the disease." Howard also stated, "you have to be in the right frame of mind."
• He is in that frame of mind and has a pretty accomplice to help him enjoy it.

It is now October of 2010 and Howard is still going strong!

"I feel good, just a bit tired sometimes. My appetite is still good and Roselyn makes sure I clean my plate.

After his third chemotherapy treatment, Howard will undergo a CT scan and be evaluated for any further treatments.

Way to go Howard! Keep up the good work.
