Of course it is possible. But as you can imagine we barely have enough researchers exploring new therapies to keep us alive or to cure MM let alone the cause of MM.

First of all we need someone like an Edison to try 10,000 different possibilities one at a time and then who will sponsor that research. No one, no entity wants to pay for that.

What is happening is the accidental root cause way of life. If many of us drank the Camp Lejeune water and got MM we could say oh, it’s the water. Or if many of us used baby powder and got ovarian cancer we could say, oh it’s the powder.

But there is no repository of information of our history that will correlate what we all ingested, inhaled or touched that caused our malady.

I was on tetracycline as a kid for acne around 1967-69. Did that cause it. Or did the chemical carbon tetra chloride that Dad used do it? Or was it in the well water that was contaminated by the chemical plant across the road?

I know of no study that requests our information and input of possible causes over the course of our lives.

Although families do get MM it may not be genetically inherited and more likely geographical exposure. So what was in the area that left father daughter and uncle attract MM? We don’t know.

The other problem is only 170,000 of us have MM with 100 new cases a day discovered around the USA. A small sample of the 340,000,000 population.

So unless there is some correlation found we will not know what caused our problem.

And even if found what will be done about it? For example, six Philadelphia Phillies have died of brain cancer who played on Veterans Stadium Astro Turf. The theory is in the hot sun the gasses from the artificial turf caused their glioblastomas. But nothing was ever proven. To me that is a very high correlation. Younger healthy athletes getting brain cancer on the same team?

Then one would ask, why didn’t all the Phillies get it? Not everyone is predisposed. Not everyone who smokes get lung cancer.

We must have been predisposed to something that caused the MM. And perhaps we were exposed too much to it. Whatever it is.

Laura,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I think there are many factors causing MM. I was exposed to products that kill mold, weed killers, construction glues, marble and granite sealers. Asbestos. Too much Anesthesia. I couldn’t say which one did it.

Very sorry for your loss. Thoughts with you!

Since my partner's diagnosis, this has been the lingering thoughts in our heads. I agree with the previous comment about the lack of a repository to find a common causality. I've also been tuned into Healthtee.org where researchers and patients offer insight in the hopes for cure. My partner has always been holistic and avoided meds/supplements his entire life. He was always low on Vitamin D and basking in daily sun didn't help. I wonder to myself whether this deficiency was a major contributor. We also live in an agricultural part of town, so did exposure to pesticides cause it as he sat outside every morning with his coffee? There's also his digestive concerns that may have contributed. They do say gut health plays an important role in our bodies. So many what ifs that run through our minds. We have recently ordered a 23andMe kit to see if his DNA health assessment will show anything that would shed some light. I will share if there's anything correlatable in his results.

Curious what others say.
