Title: 1 case of thyroid cancer found following Fukushima nuclear crisis
Source: Kyodo
Date: Sept. 11
A Fukushima prefectural government panel on the health impact from last year’s nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant said Tuesday that one young person has been found to be suffering from thyroid cancer.
The finding was reported at a meeting of the eight-member panel that organized thyroid gland screening for 360,000 residents aged 18 years or younger as of March 11, 2011, when the earthquake and tsunami crippled the power plant.
Of the total, the results of medical checks on 80,000 have been made available.

It has begun. Not 30 years, or 20 years, as mainstream medical sources predicted. But 1 1/2 years after 311. First report of thyroid cancer in a child. Hang onto your hats, ENEnewsers. We are in for a very bad time of it, I'm afraid.
If one case is found, there are probably 100 that haven't been found yet. The parents must be frantic, rocking their sick kids in the night. All those thousands of kids with sore thyroids.
Once the public tires of a story, they tune out when the MSM mentions it again. We are waving our arms, but no one is paying any attention. "There goes Philip, talking about Fukushima again."

I think when several thousand kids have thyroid cancer the parents will absolutely revolt. This is a wretched situation unfolding.

Alas, just the high percentage of children displaying thyroid cysts/nodules in the first year strongly suggested cancers would begin showing up quickly. So this doesn't surprise me – by March of next year there should be a significantly rising toll. Fortunately this cancer is readily treatable, though it does involve a good deal of pain and suffering, a lifetime of pharmaceutically replaced hormones. And for God's sake, get those kids (and their families) the hell outta there!
My fervent prayer is that the absurdly callous Japanese government and medical 'officials' who are so very desperate to cover up the true situation don't get away with killing any children who could have been successfully treated if they and their parents had been encouraged to keep close track – remember how those 'officials' said there was no reason for continuing tests on ANY of the children showing thyroid effects? That's yet another Crime Against Humanity.

I get the same reactions whenever I bring up Fukushima. I more or less have given up talking about it as no one wants to hear it anymore (offline).
Well Edano did say there would be no "immediate" impact so he did not lie. It is all about the wording. Not many people, in Japan, picked up on the this subtlety it would seem. That snake Edano should be put in the reactor site at Fukushima forever. Monster.

And the results of the 80,000 tests? Just how many children live in Fukushima ages infant to 18 yrs? Oh..we should include to 21 yrs..out of the teens cause they are still growing. Also the testing procedure..are the ultra sound engineers experienced, is the equipment correct for children? Are ALL the noduals being tested for Cancer? Lots of what is NOT said in the above press release..its only 1.5 yrs..for cancer to show up in a child..thats terrible. Did they check the tumor DNA to see if Fukushima caused it? Thats possible now you know..hope the parents see this post and someone puts in in Japanese for them and puts on a blog.

I think we will see an acute impact of other cancers related to relation in Japan. The amount of contamination is staggering and so will be its effects. The spent pool must not be allowed to deteriorate.
Its too much already.

Now we need to see some serious statistics on blood issues, which I don't think have been followed despite the ample indications that children received debilitating thyroid doses. I want to see leukemia and non-Hodgekins data. For adults, thyroid issues will begin at two to two and a half years, leukemias may take 5-7 years to show strongly. Organ, soft and hard tissue cancers will start showing up at 5 years too, peak in only 10 years (continuing forever hence). Because Fukushima was many times worse than Chernobyl and the Japanese government is entirely willing to sacrifice the population to corporate greed. There will be no way to disguise the truth in the end with self-serving lies.

Think Leukemia is showing up already..just not "reported" after reading a few Japanese blogs. There are some sick and scared victims out there..a lot of them who have no where to go for help or treatment of radiation diseases.

@jec…Thanks for the link & thanks also for mentioning ?able reliability. Maybe it is totally reliable, but it's best to err in this direction.
