Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Greetings, Here's an opportunity for patients to encourage Congress to include blood cancers in the existing DoD (Department of Defence) medical research program and to appropriate $15 million dollars for this purpose. See backgrounder for details http://www.lymphoma.org/site/pp.asp?c=chKOI6PEImE & b=1574233 * Click the Action step link to support this initiative. http://tinyurl.com/2yf47q ~ Karl " There are compelling reasons for a DoD investment in blood cancer research. First, military personnel may be at special risk for developing the blood cancers. The Institute of Medicine has concluded that there is evidence or a suggestion of evidence of an association between exposure to Agent Orange and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and myeloma. " http://www.lymphoma.org/site/pp.asp?c=chKOI6PEImE & b=1574233 (This letter is not being circulated on the Senate side, so there is no need to contact your senators.)
