How do you like these odds?
Crazycat:
Lori,
 It really does seem a bit unusual for that many people to be afflicted in a certain place in so short a time. What are the odds of aquiring this condition that we hear all the time? 1 per 100,000 people or so? Something to mull over indeed!
  Be careful how you go about it though! You may end up like Karen Silkwood. Remember her?

I love my job and would never do anything to jeopardize it. I have 21 years in and 18 more to go. I am going to start keeping track, just in case our odd increase.

Crazycat:
That's a good idea. Just remain vigilant at this point.

I've read about what our doctor called "cluster groupings" of tumors. Where a small area has a higher then average amount of a particular medical problem. When my husband was diagnosed with a tumor
(at the time of diagnoses it wasn't clear as to the type) he asked us where we lived exactly. Turns out about 25 miles from us a very small town had a "cluster" of brain tumors going on.
Maybe google or another search engine has some information of clusters.
Just a thought
Best to all

I wonder if the odds of getting an AN is out of wack. Since I was diagosed on June 22, 2006. I learned that three of our salesman had immediate family members who had AN's and I have three friends who had family members who had them. Now, that's seven people counting myself and I didn't even try. I think these little buggers are more common than we think.
GO CARDINALS !!!
