Yes, I am angry and tired. Very, very tired. Tired from dealing with my thyroid disease. I am a victim of radioactive fallout. In March of 1996, I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. There were downwinders living in Utah who were compensated by the federal government. If some were compensated, then all should be compensated. The underground nuclear testing that was done in Nevada by the government was dangerous and caused many people a great deal of suffering. It is time that the U.S. admits its mistake and help those of us who have suffered and continue to suffer.
