My condolences... I highly recommend eating healthy, otherwise your odd of getting cancer in the 40-50s is more than 30%.

- rdl 14y agoI believe there was some talk of a lawsuit: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/12/military_kbr_lawsuit_121508w/ http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/12/military_kbr_lawsuit_1... http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/lawsuit/open-pit-burning-us-military-facilities.html#.UV-dPqugnKA http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/lawsuit/open-pit-burnin... I don't think the situation was that bad. The one really unforgivable thing was shoddy electrical work in shower trailers (I think ~10 contractors and soldiers were fatally electrocuted while showering while in Iraq! I certainly got 230v a couple times and went through the reporting process, and actually got MPs and a friend from Contracting to turn it into a bigger issue.)

- rdl 14y agoI think I actually hope my odds of eventually getting cancer are ~100% over my lifespan, because it seems to be a natural consequence of living long enough. I also hope that by the time I have cancer of any size, it is something you can treat fairly successfully.
- ttrreeww 14y agoAs long as they treat cancer as a profit center, a cure will never surface in the US of A. "Treament" is a multi billion (trillion?) business, a cure would reduce that to dust. Also, you should look up the agony, people would rather shoot themselves than take the "treatment"
