Yes, my father was diagnosed with MM in 2008 and passed in 2013 (it was his 5th cancer). I was dx in 2018 (my 3rd cancer). I’m told it’s rare, but it happens. My mother died of lung cancer in 2006. Some suspect toxic waste deposited when they built a bridge years before.

Paige. I’ve tested thousands of well water samples over 30 years. There are various parameters. One FHA/VA test has 100 parameters. Did they test the “forever chemicals?” I grew up on well water. I can’t even trust public water now.

Agreed Dave. That’s too much cancer in the family to not be man made. Something is causing it. PS my brother lives south of you below Ft Leonard Wood in Plato

I’ll double check but it was the most comprehensive test that we ordered. Thanks for your help.!
