14. Collect your $50k. Do not pass GO. Go directly to

the bank, if you haven't already. Takes about a year to process a claim, they tell me.

8. Dear medeak...I totally know what you are saying, I know the truth and you are.....

living it. I wish I could say everyone on DU was understanding of the dangers of Nuclear
fallout and waste, but there are many here who DO know and back your fears 100%.

I am so sorry you have to go through this by no fault of your own.

10. Damn, damn, sorry to read this.

Best wishes from an old Nevadan who has heard it way too much.

[caraher]

11. So sorry to hear it

I hope you get well soon. The Cold War is still causing suffering unfortunately...

[KT2000]

12. I'd be angry too

so sorry you have to go through this. They should send all your bills directly to the Dept. of Defense.

15. All Downwinders are eligible for $50k compensation from the

RECA fund. Plus they can get medical expenses covered for eligible diseases. Thyroid cancer is almost certainly one of them.

13. Dear medeak, all my best wishes.

I hope you'll be able to swallow again soon. I am so very sorry and extremely angry that this happened to you and so many others.
