WWII Vets with CANCER?

My husband died in 1999 of skin cancer that metastasized. I always thought it was because he was exposed to too much sun, he ran a landing craft in WW2 and was one of the first people to go into Nagasaki

Yesterday my dermatologist told me that it wasn't the sun that damaged my husband. The cancer would have come from exposure to radiation from the bomb. (The veterans admin had denied that) The Dr said the damage was done at Nagasaki and could take 50 years to show up. Live and learn. Many of the crew died of cancer over a period of years. The vets hospitals wouldn't help them because of the time limits on claims

I am so sorry for your loss. And very sorry to hear this. These deserved better treatment ... and HELP from the govt.

Do you know what types of cancers? Compare these to what happened to those at Nagasaki & you will see if they are a match)

I think my dad was on a Navy ship in WWII Pacific region. From the pattern of what I saw in him and in my family, I suspect the bomb fumes.

Did you know that they are suspecting Pancreatic cancer is familial? And that the pancreatic registries are springing up in the WWII nations: Germany, Japan, UK, Spain (that's a WWI nation), also 11 in the USA, and one in Canada that has a Jewish sounding name. Note my post on Michael Landon - Pancreatic and Liver cancers

It does seem logical that the atomic bomb radiation would have an effect; however, if it is the chemical in bombs that got in everyone's eyes ... did he have the CFIDS symptoms?

I suspect Scott Hamilton (Champion Figure skater) had birth defects similar to that of 2-butoxyethanol poisoning for either or both of his parents: digestion problems; growth abnormality; pituitary brain tumor and testicular cancer

I'd like to know more about Carrie Hamilton's dad. Not smoking or our own abuses that would cause even lung cancer.

I would like to know how many in the military have come down with mesothelioma - a soft tissue sarcoma - that 2-butoxyethanol should be suspect for (NOT asbestos)

More thoughts on lung cancer NOT from smoking!

I suspect Aristotle Onassis was health damaged by THIS chemical, too; and as usual, it was not recognized by his doctors.

I'd like to know about Wynonna Judd's real dad - overweight may not be her fault ... and other autoimmune metabolic issues like high bad cholesterol, high blood pressure even (?)

I'd like to know more about Michale J. Fox and Richard Pryor (MS)

PS

The chemical I'm concerned about, however, targets multiple organs, body systems at the same time, so it is not a matter of spreading from one place to another ... but the harm from 2-butoxyethanol

I don't know how much longer we can go on like this ... poisoning our own and not even recognizing it. The birth defects and become more frequent and more horrible, too
