Maybe we should look at how many aml/cml patients have visited or have live

in Florida? Sounds suspicious....

I have a question about these statistics. Have any of the Florida people

been diagnosed with another cancer? My friend, who thinks her building might

be 'sick', has been diagnosed with (in order) sqalmous cell skin cancer,

leiomyosarcoma (LMS), CML and adenocarcinoma (lung cancer). She was diagnosed

with CML and lung cancer 2 years after the LMS diagnosis. She lives in

Sarasota, FL - 50 miles south of Tampa.

I have to admit I have always thought that the numbers were higher in

Florida and the only relation I can think of is Pesticides.

I live in Tampa Fl for 17 years now and was diagnosed in 2000

I have never went any further to research because the first 2 years of my

living here I worked for 2 different companies that used chemicals such as

benzene ( I think I spelled that right) which I was exposed to.

I have been in Crestview, Florida for only 10 years this month. Crestview is a

VERY close neighbor to Milton, Fl (about 15-20 miles). Where I work I am the

only one with CML, but 6 women have had breast cancer within 5 years.

CML dx 2002

Hi ,

I moved to Tampa to care for my terminally ill sister and being a single mom

to 2 boys, it was imperative that I put food on the table and a roof over

their heads so I took a job as a printing assistant and then a printer until

I was able to find placement with a company that required someone with my

skills. I am currently a Sales Director for a very large national

organization.

I have thought of checking out the previous places I worked and seeing if

anyone else there had any type similar cancer but decided that it would be

best if I just focus on my well being.

One thing I could never forget is the fact that either of the 2 printing

companies ever used proper protection for chemical exposure

unless OSIA was doing one of their little visits.

I remember using the chemicals to clean the ink off of myself and or the

machines and I saw the danger sign but was too naïve to give it a second

thought. I also really needed the job at the time so I just did what I had

to do.
