My wife has cost them a ton of money over the past two years after
having complications from having a benign tumor removed. I have a
feeling that plays a part it their decision. I think her bill is
north of 150K now.<br>

Interesting you would say that, Steve. Had a lower abdomen CT
that showed a 5mm nodule on my right lung. NP and my PCP ordered
a full CT of my lungs. Insurance denied it because they only
allow the scan of any organ every 6 months. The scan only showed
my lower lungs, not my upper lungs. So I wait my 6 months and
then have it reordered. Go figure.<br>

<div dir="ltr">My father started spraying corn fields and
fence rows with 2-4-D in the 1940's right after WW-II. DDT
in the milking barn was a daily thing. They bought this
farm in 1951 and it was massively overgrown with Honey
Locust thorn trees. You know, the kind with "giant"
thorns.
<div>I spent a lot of years spraying all manner of stuff
and my father was not very safety minded when it came to
spraying. Of course neither was the government back
then. My father used to preach at me that it was
required that the spray mix HAD to run off of every leaf
of every plant.</div>
<div>About 10 years ago my Doctor moved away and we had to
find a new one. She sat me down and asked a thousand
questions, knowing that I was a farmer, and made big
list of all of the things I had been exposed to. Then
she put me on a sort of an automatic list I guess pretty
much saying that I had a very high probability of
cancer. So far so good, still in the clear.</div>
<div>By age 11 I was spraying agent orange (mix of 2-4-D,
2-4-5-T and stove oil) all summer long using a three
gallon metal hand sprayer, spraying all kinds of brush
and especially those Honey Locust about 4 to 5 feet up
the trunks. We sprayed all of our corn with 2-4-D at
"lay-by". By the time I was about 14 I was doing about
all of the spraying. I can't begin to name all of the
stuff I sprayed over the years, mostly typical corn belt
chemicals as they came along. Lasso, Treflan, Atrazine,
2-4-D-B, many others and of course Round-up... I still
use Round-up and 2-4-D but I'm pretty conservative with
them.</div>
<div>During those years I also worked with a fair amount
of asbestos, sawing, drilling and nailing it as well as
removing it from several structures (before modern
restrictions).</div>
<div>When Diana and I got married I worked for a number of
years I worked in a plastics plant and constantly worked
with a bunch of kind of scary solvents with big warning
labels that the company didn't take very seriously...</div>
<div>Then we owned a store and added a shoe repair shop
(an old family trade) and for 20 years I worked daily in
a cloud of quite squirrley adhesives, solvents and
thinners.</div>
<div>Every time I go see the doctor she asks the same
batch of questions making sure nothing is going wrong.
That and checking me for any indications of our family
curse. Of my parents and my sister and myself I am the
only one that has not been diagnosed with Altzheimers...
They are all gone now... Both my mother and my sister
died from it. My father had it pretty bad but congestive
heart failure killed him first.</div>
<div>Like I said, "so far so good". At 78 I'm still
passing all of my tests. :-) <br clear="all">
