Austin firefighter Suzanne La Follette, diagnosed with stage four endometrial cancer, believes her job hazards caused it. Her workers comp claim was denied as Texas law doesnt cover female reproductive cancers. A contested case hearing took place, with a decision expected in ten days. Firefighters and their union rallied for her, citing scientific links between job risks and these cancers. Texas rules lack specific cancer coverage for female reproductive organs, unlike federal law. State reps are considering legislative fixes, while the city respects her service but adheres to the process.
