As Medical Providers caring for Veterans with Cancer, Memorial Day is Every Day for Us.

Looking at my husband who had spent 16-months in Iraq between 2007 and 2008, I watch his health slowly decline. His unintentional weight gain is a result of “acute liver failure”, his severe stomach pain, and spot bleeding each time he uses the bathroom. These are medical concerns of someone in their sixties or seventies. Not my husband who just turned 35.

The stories are the same, time and time again, prevention-based screening saves lives. No amount of money can bring back those loved ones lost to cancers from ill-informed providers, misdiagnoses, and lack of screening.

Thank you @TulsiGabbard for your sincerity and honesty, and @MikeGloverActual for your experience and service.

For our team, #MemorialDay is every day to us.
