Maureen's Mission
Maureen's Mission began with a promise Bill Thiel made to his wife, Maureen, before she died. Maureen asked him to make sure he told her story so that other women wouldn’t have to face the same fate as her. She didn’t want her life - or her death - to be in vain. She did not another woman to have to suffer the pain she dealt with due to her misdiagnosis.
Remember, even as you read through this website, somewhere there is a woman being sent home and told not to be worried about the lump in her breast. That woman may have an excellent reason to be distraught and not be sure where to turn. Maureen's Mission wants to ensure that never happens again. Maureen's Mission wants to establish a Universal Standard of Care for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of breast lumps, for every woman, everywhere in the United States.
