Okie doke, well this is a Article I read on VeteransVoice.info which was added today, and asks For Wide Distribution So I thought I would throw it up in here.
What this is a study being done by DND and VAC in reference to Cancer and are looking for people who from 1972 Onwards to Current, who served in the
Military and have occured some form of Cancer. Now the Info On the V V I site also has a News clipping from The Aurora Newspaper which is embedded so you'll
need to visit V V I to read it, as I dunno if I can find it else where on the net, But I will search. So, to start,
VeteransVoice Site for story
It refers to 1st of all the CFHS Site which really doesn't explain much.
The Canadian Forces Cancer and Mortality Study (CF CAMS) is led and funded by the Canadian Health Services Group and conducted in collaboration with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and Statistics Canada.
This groundbreaking study will provide new information about patterns of mortality and cancer among individuals with a history of service in the Canadian Forces (CF). Findings from this study will inform policy and program development for promoting, protecting, and restoring the health of Canada’s sailors, soldiers, airmen and airwomen, throughout their military careers and after they have left the CF.
On V V I site along with this article from Aurora Newspaper reads
Please, if you know of anyone that has cancer (any type) or has had cancer and is or was serving in the Canadian Military, please have them get in touch with
