Men We Must Let Our Voices Be Heard

Men with Sickle Cell Disease often are not seen nor heard when it comes to how this disease affects all of us who live and die due to the complications related to our disease. It is apparent from what I have found by searching the web that men are underrepresented when it comes to discussing not only how we feel but also treatments that may work or may not work. We also fall behind the discussion as it relates to being involved in support of those who seek to cure this disease or support the quality of care for those affected by Sickle Cell Anemia. Therefore, it is my hope that men become more involved in the discussion, treatment, support, and cure of this disease we must live with. Add your voice!
