One research group thinks it knows the answer: fallout from nuclear power

plants.

 

 

The Norristown group, the Radiation and Public Health Project Inc., plotted

nuclear reactors on a map with counties reporting the highest rates of thyroid

cancer and found a ''remarkable pattern.''

HI

Just my personal opinion-I think this is plauseable. I had medulablastoma cancer

9 yrs ago & my radiation onologyst gave me radiation to my head, neck & spine,I

actually had 5 days were I had to stop radiation treatment because I had

projectile vomiting -radiation poisoning, I was advised my hair on top of my

head woul probably not grow back as well as I may get other cancers from the

radiation. Oct1996 I had to have my thyroig removed (thyroid cancer.
