Right to try legislation which gives terminally ill patients the right to take drugs that are fda approved but arent available commercially yet is gaining momentum across the country. President trump even helpinged in his state of Union Address a local family told Bill Anderson that the momentum so far hasnt led to bill to help them and they really hope lawmakers can do more for goodness sake. [ applause ] reporter the state of the union no matter whose in office is a highly partisan event. One side collapse. One side sits. Often quietly but some out of that room are personally impacted. Patients with terminal illness should have access to experimental treatment immediately that could potenti potentially save their lives. Reporter one comment about right to try legislation was more than politics to the mongiello family. It was hope. I want to give my husband a chance. I want him to have hope. Frank mongiello has als a disease that has taken him from an active husband and father to someone who relies almost entirely on his family. Its been two years weve been fighting for this. Thats two years that hes progressed from walking and talking. Frank family and friends took on the political fight to get the right to try experimental medicine. Two years much progress but no signed bill. So its easy to understand why there were mixed emotions. Just to know that we werent forgotten. For the president to acknowledge it and say like this is one of the big issues i want to take care thats awesome. They were excited they had hope but understandably skeptical about waiting on politics while their father and others deteriorate. Hes not a policy. Hes a human being. People are dying while they they play politics and thats not right. It started with my legs. Frank who communicates through a machine he operates with his eyes he remains encouraged. The more he spoke the higher my emotioned sored to the point where i was trying to stand up and scream. Even if he believes the fight maybe for others after him. Als will kill me. So i dont need the fda to protect me from death. Maybe it will help to find a cure one day so others dont get this horrific disease. The right to try. [ applause ] their message is sincere thanks for the president s comments and much deeper for government in general. Its not the governments fault he got sick or anything. Its just i feel like the government should be there for the people, and i dont think the governments been there for him. I love you, daddy. Message many recollect elected officials should probably think of regularly for goodness sake. Im Bill Anderson. What an amazing family. My goodness. Teared up here. Okay. So its february. We know it can snow. But kathy, on super bowl sunday. Im afraid so not just snow rain, a cold rain we hope to be celebrating a big win. All of that coming up. This is wheeler street.

Fox 29 special report chase for a championship is next. Im a concrete mason. I own my own company. I had some severe fatigue, some funny rashes. Finally, listening to my wife, went to a doctor. And i became diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma. That diagnosis was tough. I had to put my trust in somebody. When i first met steve, we recommended chemotherapy, and then we did high dose therapy and then autologous stem cell transplant. Unfortunately, he went on to have progressive disease. I thought that he would be a good candidate for immune therapy. Its an intravenous medicine that can affect the patients immune system and unleash it against the cancer. With chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigue, nauseous. And with immune therapy weve had such a positive result. Im back to working hard. Ive honestly never felt this great. I believe the future of immunotherapy at ctca is very bright. The evolution of cancer care is here. Learn more at cancercenter. Com Appointments Available now.
