Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi Susie, I don't think it is that bizarre. If they did an environmental assessment of the area they will probably find the reason why. Try this one for bizarre. There are 3 members of the Zero Club in Harpers Ferry, WV. Harpers Ferry has a population of 307. Something is going on there.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I should talk to my family doc here in town or take out an add. I know of a few cases of CML in my town as well. *frowns* I like to blame the 20 year old super nuk-em industeral microwave I use a work. Stupid thing doesn't always stop right away when you open the door. I grew-up near some farms that used some nasty sprays and us kids were always running around in the crop fields and playing on and near folks equipment. My sister has cervical cancer that has progressed, my little brother just died of a genetic disorder of the heart that we had no idea he had. He was my marrow donor when and if I needed one. It hurts. It all makes you wonder. *sighs* *smiles anyway* Emy G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister has cervical cancer that has progressed, my little brother Dear Emy G., you know , you mentioned farms. The area where we lived where there are 14 or so cancer cases all are surrounded by farms. And, the farmer actually took money from pre-war industrial plants to bury " stuff " on his property which abutted ours. My husband died at 42 of a brain tumor (small-cell carcinoma) and then I get CML. Two of my neighbors had AML and two others with carcinoma. Lots of other cancers too. But, then again, we did have a plastics plant that emitted Benzene into our environment. I also grew up on a huge dairy farm, well, my first five years of live that is. All this stuff just makes you wonder....Lynne A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
