-----------------------------------------------------
I recently added a comment to the Thyroid Foundation of America, and this is what it said.
I too am very dissapointed in the ONLY thyroid foundation for community, as well as the medical communities education and awareness or should I say un-awareness of the seriousness of thyroid diease!!! My youngest son of 20 yrs young, Justin Wagar-O'Paty died a year ago on May 8th.,2007 because he was so MISDIAGNOSED that he had a “5 pound thyroid gorter” removed from his neck when it was too late. The Surgen stated that he had NEVER seen this before, it was unheard of. 2 years later of paying for every office visit, blood tests and thyroid medication, his non thyroid got the best of him and he committed suicide! He couldnt take it anymore mentally and emotionally. He suffered everyday his thyroid was gone! What’s so funny is after he got his last blood level test done April 19th.2007, almost 3 weeks later we recieved a letter stating that his blood levels were way below normal range and he needed to contact them a.s.a.p.!…..What was I supposed to do, bring his dead body on a gurney back to the Dr.?????????????? This is a serious matter people! And I am in the process of making a new serious AWARENESS not only to the public, but to the medical community!!!!
I HAVE to get Justins story out now! I am still grieving over my son that I was so close to and love so very much. When I saw that the only thyroid foundation was shutting down, it felt like a SLAP IN THE FACE not only to me and my deceased son, but to the rest of thyroid sufferer’s as well!
So I am doing a 2,650 mile hike along the pacific crest trail at 43 years young in memory of my son! And YOU TOO! My goal is to raise $20,000.00 wether it takes me 6 mos to a year! PLEASE visit Journey for Justins charity/donation web site that is now in process of completion at: www.myspace.com/journeyforjustin
for your support in any way. Please feel free to leave any comments and let me know how I can help you. Someone has to believe us and this VERY SERIOUS diease.
I am NOT giving up on Justin! I will continue to fight for thyroid awareness/educ. Please dont give up on yourselves, Justin and me in making a difference! And a difference we will make!
Thank you, and I wish you all the best.
Justins mom, Lynnette Wagar
