"March 23 - ENDICOTT -- Kelan Pedley, a lifelong village resident, was still recovering from surgery to remove a cancerous left kidney when she learned a few weeks ago that the malignancy had spread to her right one.
While trying to fathom the implications, the 47-year-old mother learned some other dire news last week. The state Department of Health has documented excessive rates of kidney cancer and other serious illnesses in a polluted part of the village where she has lived most of her life.
Now she is on a mission to help her neighbors and find out more." More . . .
This article fails to mention that this woman has been arrested and incarcerated several times due to drug-use related charges, with a history of drug addiction. Perhaps that contributed to her health? I would hardly say that we can blame the pollution of our environment on what people choose to do to their own bodies, including drug abuse.
