Aug. 1 he was diagnosed with metastatic Renal cell carcinoma. His left kidney was removed. He went thru Radiation for his hip bone. He has about 9 tumors in his lungs. His job dealt with many carcinogens. Neither of us have risk factors other than occupational exposure.  Has anyone else delt with this in their experience with cancer? Trying to find the cause. I know it was the chemicals. There were many he was responsible for adding, cleaning, analyzing. (for Plating, friction and degreasing tanks). I feel like this is a very well covered up problem.  I know people are constantly seaching for the cures, I feel if we find the cause, many more lives will be spared.  Please help!  birdie4 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 10/5/2007 birdie4 wrote:My husband works in a factory that makes brakes.
