It is three in the morning here in Oregon. Thanks for continued information. There is no history of cancer in my family of any kind. However, besides genetics there is environment. I live on a small farm and Am surrounded by nurseries. Between these nurseries and myself we use herbicides to control the weeds. I use them on my little farm to grow weed free hay for my horse. There seems to be a correlation between use of herbicides and renal cell carcinoma. I do not smoke nor drink. I have been a vegetarian for fifty years. However, known carcinogens are in my shed as I write this. Coincidence? I may never know. Now it is me rambling. Thanks so much for sharing. Each and everyone. Those who may just read these posts and those who share. Whatever your belief system is, I pray for each one. Blessings.

Now you have me thinking. We also used to farm and so many pesticides were used including DDT which is now banned here. That never entered my head until you mentioned it and thanks for that. I am going to find out if there's a connection. Blessings
