Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Dear , I am so sorry to hear about your father. I remember the war very well and remember the island of Enowetok (I don't know if that is the right spelling either). My cousin was on a gunner on the first plane to bomb the island of Japan. His plane never returned and was never found. I remember being in chemistery class learning about splitting the atom, but we didn't know they had developed a bomb. I know a man whose father was captured by the Japanese in the Pacific theater and brought to Japan to work as a slave in the Mitsubishi factory. Our forces dropped one of the atom bombs there and he was of course affected by the blast. The war ended and after he went home, his wife gave birth to this man who was born with lobster claw hands, only 3 fingers on each hand. I asked him what ultimately happened to his father and he said he died of leukemia. I am telling you this because you said your father died of cancer, and we just in the past few days talked about inherited leukemia and other possible causes. By the way, all of the actors who made a movie where the land bomb was exploded all died of cancer, Wayne was one of them. In this particular case, the father probably had something that affected his reproductive organs and at the same time, had an altered a gene he passed on to his son. I have no scientific answer, just a guess. It is a common thing that everyone has a friend or family member who died of cancer. Let's hope to change those stats and everyone can die a natural death after living a long and fulfilled life. Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
