That is so sad that one so young has to endure a pain inflicted by (IMO) man. The government should be held responsible for the harmful affects of nuclear testing and waste. They knew seventy years ago the affects of the fallout from radiation.
I’m praying for everyone who is suffering from the dreaded disease - Big C.
Funny you should mention nuclear testing. A sibling and I are considered “Downwinders,” but while I have Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, she has fybromyalgia. The one sibling who did have cancer was already out of the house and in the navy before we were even born.
The great-granddaughter of my friend is a descendant of a man whose entire family is prone to cancers, but they were from New Mexico.
It is well known that southwestern Utah has more than it’s share of children with Down’s Syndrome. And remember that most of the cast of “The Conquerer,” which was filmed in southern Utah, died of cancer.
However, cancer has been killing people for centuries. We hear more about it now because of the technology that wasn’t available before. It used to be termed, “a lingering illness.”
My personal belief is that there is more damage done to our bodies by the preservatives and chemicals in our foods than what radiation does. And remember: radiation is used to help rid the body of cancer.
