Here’s a good point near the end of the article.
>On the cancer cluster question, ATSDR cites data from the Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Registry to make the case that there isn’t one. GCCR data from the past decade shows childhood cancer incidence has been below the state average here. GCCR’s Waycross-area data, however, doesn’t include people who are diagnosed at hospitals in other cities, as Lexi, Harris, Gage, and Raylee all were.
I’m a Georgia native but from Atlanta. I’ve never been to Waycross. I lived in South Georgia for about a year a couple hours away.
For anyone who read the Vidalia Onion article on the front page it’s about 1.5 hours north of here. There’s a beautiful college in Valdosta an hour away. The region is nice because it transitions into more of a Florida type of landscape.
