INFO: Excellent medical breaking news: Cancers covered by Health Fund for 9/11

[Guest guest]

Dear listmates

This is a great news for all patients and health profesionals who were

desperating.

It was high time !

" A federal health official’s ruling has cleared the way for 50 different

types of cancer to be added to the list of sicknesses covered by a $4.3

billion fund set up to compensate and treat people exposed to the toxic

smoke, dust and fumes in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist

attack. "

" It will allow not only rescue workers but also volunteers, residents,

schoolchildren and passers-by to apply for money

to pay for compensation and treatment for cancers developed in the

aftermath of the attack. The cancers will not officially be added to the

list until after a period of public comment lasting several months. "
