Not trying to minimize the gravity of this situation, however I want to point out that soaking rice in water overnight prior to cooking, as well as cooking it in a larger quantity of water (excess water is drained off, rather than cooking with less water until rice is dry) has been tested to reduce arsenic levels by around 80%. I've been doing this for years, and once you make a habit out of it, it's really not a big deal. Makes me feel better about eating rice 2-3x per week.
