July 26, 1998 - Lisap I am writing regarding my father-in-law. My father-in-law was retired from the Air Force and he was exposeded to what they call occupational radiation. My father-in-law had a brain tumor and went throught treatments over 14 years ago. Everything was fine up until a couple of years ago when he was again diagnosed with Gastric Cancer. I am sorry to say that he only lived about one year. My family and I are trying to get VA benefits for my mother-in-law. We have contacted our local senators office and they are working on this but it is going to take much time. My father-in-law worked with missles like all of you and he gave 25 years of his life for this damn country to end up sick and die because he was exposed to this radiation. I remember a conversation with him about a leak at one of the bases while he was there. Does anyone out there recall any radition leaks in the 60's at Whiteman? If you can and could give me more information it would be a big help. If you have information, please e-mail me.
November 18, 1997 - Angela My ex-husband, age 39, just had a rare malignant brain tumor removed (baseball size). They will hopefully treat the remaining tumor with radiation. My concern is that all of his siblings have had major health problems, younger brother, age 34, had prostate cancer, 3 sisters with health problems. Their father worked on the minuteman missiles in Cheyenne Wyoming and North Dakota. I am wondering if he had been exposed to radition (or something) that caused his off spring medical problems? If that could be the case, it scares me to death that this could be passed on to my children. However, my ex-father in law does not apear to have related health problems. Any comments?
September 24, 1997 - F. L. Price, USAF, Retired I have a brain tumor about the size of a golf ball that was discovered two years ago after I started having seizures. I have filed for disability from the VA but it was disapproved with the comments that I did not get my tumor while on active duty. I disagree and have requested a board. My first assignment was to Finley AFS, ND where I ate, lived, and worked under an FPS-35 Radar. I need information if anyone can help me build a case. Is there anyone else out there in my condition and can anyone tell me how much radation a FPS-35 Radar puts out? If I'm in this condition from that radar there might just be a lot of people in the same boat. If you can help me or give me some hints as to which way to go, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
August 12, 1997 - T. Vaughan Hello, I'm also a brain tumor survivor, medically retired from the USAF after diagnosis of a brain tumor (anaplastic astrocytoma). I was diagnosed and treated while in the USAF. I also was assigned to Whiteman AFB, MO working as a security policeman around the Minuteman missiles. I have been medically retired from the Air Force and thank God for my current condition. You see, I had an egg size tumor (chicken egg not ostrich) removed from my right temporal lobe. Along with the tumor, the neurosurgeon removed a same size section of my brain. I don't have an E-mail address but I would like more information on this EMF investigation with Air Force personnel. Please mail me any information on this subject.
June 9, 1997 - P. Kelly I am a brain tumor patient. I am currently doing well. It will be 6 years since surgery in October 1997. I was a Facilities Missile Maintenance team chief at Whiteman Air Force Base. I worked around the Minute Man 11 ICBMs from 1981 to 1984.
December 25, 1996 - Hickey I was surprised to see a site on this subject matter. Is there something out there we Air Force members should know? I was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana with three people who were diagnosed with brain cancer. Two of those individuals died, one at Malmstrom, and one in Texas, and the other person was medically retired. We were all stationed together at Malmstrom AFB between the time frame August 1990 to January 1996.
