Mother Of Child Cancer Victim In AL Cancer Cluster Speaks Out--Alabama Cancer Clusters--Killing Children [Picture]
The Big Picture
As the mother of a child in a confirmed cancer cluster in Alabama, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to deal with polluters, politics and public health agencies. Public health agencies at the state and federal levels are ill equipped to respond to suspected disease cluster communities. This leaves parents of children in communities where rare cancer is commonplace bearing the burden of activism. Throughout my nearly decade-long journey with childhood cancer, I have felt like a lone voice crying in the wilderness, concerned about rare cancer rates in my community, without anywhere to turn for solid answers.
