Senate to look into link between Lejeune water and cancer - News14.com
Senate to look into link between Lejeune water and cancer - News14.com
CAMP LEJEUNE – The U.S. Senate is looking into a suspected link between tainted water and men with breast cancer at Camp Lejeune.
The Senate's environmental and public works committee is holding a hearing on a bill to improve testing and reporting on suspected cancer clusters, birth defects and other health concerns. The National Resource Defense Council and famous environmental activist Erin Brockovich testified before the Senate.
Investigators want to know if exposure to the poisoned water caused illnesses. As many as 1 million people were exposed to the contaminated water from the mid-1950s until the wells were closed in the mid 1980s.
Nearly 160,000 people have registered with the Marine Corps to get information about the contamination.
Some North Carolina representatives are pushing for legislation that requires the Navy and Marine Corps to help complete studies to determine a link.

Marines shoot calendar for male breast cancer research - Natick Bulletin and Tab
Marines shoot calendar for male breast cancer research - Natick Bulletin and Tab
Proceeds from the 2011 calendar, which will be sold through the artbecause.org website and will be available by Oct. 1, "will fund a research project looking at the environment and cancer, with an emphasis on male breast cancer," Anbinder said. A gallery show of the photographs, which will be featured at the foundation's Oct. 14 annual gala at the Park Plaza, will move to the Art Institute of Philadelphia in February and March, Anbinder said, and "the plan is to have it tour.
"We hope the exposure from both the calendar and the gallery shows will raise the visibility of the indiscriminate nature of this disease and that it's not just one that strikes women," she said.
"We need to get more studies," Devereaux said, including studies to see if treating breast cancer in men with the same protocols used to treat women is the most effective.
"My goal is to raise awareness," he said. "I try to be an advocate. Why else would I get this crazy disease?"
The calendar will show "it's all different shapes and sizes" the disease affects, Devereaux said.
Including a surprisingly large number of the nation's few and proud.

Burr meeting with Cherry Point, hospital leaders - Local - ENCToday
"“I am, once again, deeply disappointed that my colleagues have failed to approve an amendment providing care for the veterans and families who suffer illness due to exposure to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune,” Burr said in a release. “These veterans and their families were harmed in the service of our country. They deserve better.”"
So are we Senator, so are we disappointed. Yes, we do deserve better.
Semper Fi- yea right! [sigh]
