When we wanted to keep the kids from knowing we were thinking about getting an ice cream cone we used a code word, potatoes. "Do you want to stop and get some potatoes." we would say to each other so the kids wouldn't go crazy.
I suggested everyone use a subsitiute word for Leukemia, how about "Noda" as in Prime Minister Noda.
So one could say, "I have to go get chemotherapy for my Noda." or "Will Fukushima's radiation increase the cases of Noda?"

Wonder if this young man and the rest of the Japanese victims of "NODA" Disease were the cause of missing medications in the US and Europe? Chemo drugs in USA suddenly "out of stock" in June 2011–its for Leukemia, Acute Leukemia. Methotrexate is the first line of drugs to put children into remission, for awhile at least–for AL and for brain tumors. Funny all the stocks suddenly disappeared everywhere..and key heart drugs as well. Children will go into remission, and only need a small amount weekly to "maintain"..but to truely STOP and remove the disease–its a major procedure. All the meds do is put into remission..in a year or so..it can be back in a vicious way. God bless "Noda" victims.

And radiation causing leukemia..has been in the medical records since 1925. Radiation is NOT HEALTHY..any radiation.

jec, yours is an excellent question and thanks for the info on the remission angle. That is disturbing, but, also a little good to know that maybe a little something is being done other than shutting the doors on these people. I imagine the Japanese, of any people, have a behind-the-scenes system in place to deal with massive leukemia and other radiation caused cancers given Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Those victims were treated without "naming" the cause directly in the past, and, the same is maybe true now. Trying to keep the rise in thyroid cancers and leukemia at bay rather than performing more costly, though more effective treatment protocols, might make more sense for the medical establish there. I imagine that we would do a similar thing here in our healthcare system.

This article has no abstract; the first 100 words appear below.
THE role of human exposure to radiation in the genesis of leukemia has been recognized since 1925. In recent times many authors have reported cases of leukemia occurring in irradiated persons. Several reports of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission have verified the development of leukemia at an excessive rate in the survivors of the atomic bombings. The literature on the relation of ionizing radiation to leukemia has been summarized in the past by others and most recently by Miller. "
Article has some eye opening graphs of time vs disease development…Plus the comment of verified development of excessive rate of leukemia…!!!

We are sharing their pain and their high radiation exposure. We are really no better off in the US.
