Pretty sure my grandmother died from leukemia as a result.

That sucks man. There’s something especially upsetting knowing how and why a loved one died, and that there was nothing that could've been done differently.

My Grandpa died of thyroid cancer from these tests. He lived in south-central Utah and remembers feeling tremors from testing on his wedding day.
