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">
