I'm sorry you experienced this first hand.

<--- had hys own bout with cancer at age 40.
My cervical cancer was the direct result of DES in vitamins prescribed to pregnany women in the 1950's that had had earlier miscarriages or still births. I'm fine, it has been over 25 years now since dealing with this. Thousands of women of my generations have had to deal with this. Then post the 60's development of oral contraceotion, the levels of breast cancers related to the levels of estrogen in them began (including for my mother).

The problem is that most of the kinds of cancers that arise due to environmental exposure or by prescription and OTC drugs take years to develop. By the time we have evidence of causation, there are generations already in danger.
