I know this is late- But do you think you were harmed by the pollution?

If I have been harmed, nothing has shown up yet. My parents still live in the vicinity and have for nearly fifty years, and they're okay. But I was thinking a while back about a number of women of my generation from my neighborhood who died young (mid-forties and younger) of cancer. One who lived across the alley from me; two on the next block down who lived next door to each other; one who lived another block away. One who lived across the street from me has cancer now.

I've been away from the area for a while, and I've lost contact with a lot of people there, so there could be more. The number of cancer deaths might just be coincidental and unrelated to the environment, but it has always struck me as odd to have so many in a close area.
