- "She's sick with the stomach flu" This is very serious from my perspective as I recognize this as an exposure to some type of glycol ether (not a virus) * It is this chemical (often in the form of 2-butoxyethanol) that causes so much cancer, autoimmune issues and military 'syndromes' regardless of time of service or war served in. (CFIDS, CFS, FM often there, too.) Ask her doctors to consider Rituxan or gamma globulin or glyconutrients to help stop the body from turning autoimmune. Is breast cancer a soft tissue sarcoma? When she gets 'the sniffles' or full fledged flu symptoms look for exposure to a glycol ether (especially any with butyl) & STOP THE EXPOSURE> http://www.valdezlink.com/re/whysomuchcancer.htm
