Paint
Hi there I signed up over a year ago when my husband first starting seeing the hematologist because something was amiss. After 14 months of watch & wait and tests, he now has an official MDS diagnosis. He is 51. Prognosis seems okay as we continue to be on watch & wait for now.
He's not a forum or support group kind of guy so he won't be posting here, he is sitting next to me as I type this though.
In my googling something struck me -- the environmental connection. Paint factory workers.
Hubby never worked in a paint factory but growing up he frequently swam in a local pond that was later declared a superfund site -- due to nearby paint factory. All these years later, you can't swim in it.
Do you think there might be a connection?
Has anyone pursued this line of thought, and if so, do you have any research studies?
It probably makes no difference but I'm still curious.
