What Happened
to Thelma
opinion...
what I think and why
I met a very fine woman,
Thelma, who died about 2 years
ago from a brain tumor. She was
wife of a prominent banker and
gave of her time to Women's
Aglow as Area President of
Central Illinois. Her friend,
Helen, said that no one gets a
brain tumor without the cancer
starting somewhere else...
However, the autopsy indicated
it was a brain tumor only. I
thought 12-20-02 of the
information above quoted. I
called Helen today and asked,
"Did one of Thelma's
parents have some strong
chemical exposure?"
Helen thought a moment &
said...
"Once we were driving by
a chemical plant,
and Thelma shared that
her father and brother worked at
that plant"
I also thought, that if
she was a child of a chemically
overexposed father,
he would not still be
alive,
as Thelma was about 50.
Helen
continued, "Thelma's dad
died when she was little."
