My mom's cancer got formally and officially tied to her service in the military!

(she had breast cancer at 45, and has been clear and free of it for 8 years or so so nothing bad there)

my step dad also!

This means the government is on the hook to retroactively pay for the treatment and compensation for both of them

Oh man, that is good news

it is....my mom has pretty much been suspecting her time in service since day one, just because she had no genetic markers or family history really, and got it unusually young

omg thats great

milk the shit outta uncle sam

they both essentially got highly unusual cancers at the same time after serving overseas at roughly the same time

EXACTLY. the military has enough money

MORE than enough... too much, even

WAY too much

oh man that's amazing

certainly doesn't make anything better but love it when the government is held accountable

RIGHT.

pay up, america I'm glad

OH GOOD!!!!!!!

that's awesome, cough it up uncle sam

finally my tax money going to something worthwhile

thank god

oh fuck yeah

hell yeah!

I'm glad to hear they're officially accountable!

also poppin in here to say fuck yea. pay up murica !!
