    I was at Capital Hill the day that Sen. Hillary Clinton & Sen. Chuck Hagel met with the group from LCA. I remember her telling us that together they were putting forth a Senate proposal. I was more impressed by Sen. Hagel than Hillary but, that was just my opinion. I now think I was right, I think she has forgotten her words to us and needs to be reminded. I don't want anyone to die from this beast! But give us funding! Yes, people die from breast cancer, I have 2 cousins with it. But I didn't ask for this disease anymore than they did. But, I want the survival percentage for all of us that they have and we can't get it unless funding is made available in amounts that will make a real difference!

    Hugs to all,
    Pam

    Pam,

    I applaud you for your efforts. Tragically, the majority of the people I speak with about mesothelioma have never heard of it; let alone what causes this terrible disease.

    We have to keep up the pressure on politicians to hold true to their word and back critical funding for mesothelioma.

    Hopefully through the dedication of people such as you we can help draw more awareness to this disease.
