Who we are

This page is managed by the spouse of a combat veteran who was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, with no symptoms other than a mild cough that came and went.

We had heard about burn pits and the burn pit registry but did not know that we should ask for a yearly low-dose chest CT.

This was not offered, and his symptoms were missed. As a result what should have been a stage I cancer diagnosis, was caught at stage 4.
