Please Support the Compassionate Freedom of Choice Act, HR 6342

Hi everyone-

My mom has stage IV lung cancer (never smoked) but over the past 1.5 years has been doing pretty well as she has been accepted into a clinical trial at Yale University Hopsital and so far has been responding well to an experimental drug.

However, she has terrible anxiety about the drug not working anymore and will she be able to get into another clinical trial? Chemo is not supposed to do well with her kind of cancer.

This past Aug, a bill was introduced into Congress that states terminally ill patients have access to experimental drugs that don't yet have final FDA approval.

Please click on the link below to write to your representative to show your support for this bill.



Compassionate Freedom of Choice Act

This bill was sent to the House Energy and Commerce Committee- Fred Upton of Michigan is the Chair and he accepts phone calls that show support for this bill even if you are not a consituent. Please call! T: (202) 225-3761

Thank you so much!
