My Nonprofit Reviews

I’m a DES daughter and have heath issues as long as I can remember. It’s very emotional and difficult to rehash my history, I found out when I was about 21 years of age from my mother’s obgyn ( my re-call letter. ) D & C’s , hemorrhaging, spontaneous abortion at 21 weeks , 2 premature births , physical typical abnormalities I.e. cervical hood , infantile uterus, cystic, breast cancer . I could go on and on ! But my strength has come from the support I received from DES Action, Dr. Burton Krumholtz & Candice Tedeschi, N.P. In those years with the help of New York public interest group. I lobbied up in Albany to fight Toxic Torts like DES. It’s been a long road and I daily I struggle with lots of health issues that most doctors don’t have information on,And I know the stress has not been my friend either but I do the best I can and I’ll always be grateful for DES action/ medshadow. I can only hope and pray for my 2 daughters and grandchildren. The study of epigenetics is frightening I hope they will take care of themselves and have great health care along the way,. I only wish there could be more research and information for all of them. It’s very sad !!
