Was pulmonary lymphoma one of the diseases caused by being a worker a ground zero after 9/11?
My aunt was just diagnosed with pulmonary lymphoma. I do not know if it is Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin. Anyway, she worked at ground zero as part of the rescue effort. Basically, I just want to know if this was a disease caused by working at ground zero.
Only a doctor could determine that, not somebody on Y/A.
There was just an article in one of the NYC papers the other day about a higher-than-normal incident of multiple myeloma in younger GZ workers but they don’t know if it’s just because they’ve been monitoring people who worked at GZ so much more closely. Your aunt is likely registered with the WTC Health Registry, so she should report this in. They send us questionnaires at least once a year and ask us to participate in outside studies that come up (I am a survivor, but workers, first responders, area residents, etc., are in the registry).
I encourage everyone to ask your representatives to support the continuation of health care services for the WTC community. The bill is going through the process, I know, but I don’t know exactly what stage it’s in right now.
Best of health to your aunt as she struggles with this disease.
