I'm not sure where to even ask this, and I'm not sure if anyone would even know the answer to what I'm asking, but...

I'm from Burkesville, KY, and have had many friends and family members (myself included) suffer from cancer. There are lots of stories about nuclear waste being dumped here in the 50's and 60's from Oak Ridge (maybe) and how that may be part of the reason for so much cancer here.

Is anyone familiar with this?

There is already a thread on this here: Nuclear Toxic Waste: Really Safe to live in Oak Ridge or Knoxville

Here is the link to the Cancer Statistics for TN: Tennessee Department of Health: Tennessee Cancer Registry

You will have to consult the KY registry for their rates. I am glad that you are getting educated about cancer and its' causes. Just remember, there are many factors that cause cancer, including environmental. Don't forget to keep in mind genetics, lifestyle and all the others.

The best place to start looking for information is your local health department.
