  I have acute myeloid leukemia also called AML and thyroid disease from exposure to radiation and chemicals. I have not worked around either of these hazards. My only exposure I believe occurred while living as a youngster in the San Fernando Valley. I was in the hospital 5 times last year and 1 time so far this year. I have had 20 transfusions. I have had 7 rounds of chemo that have made me very ill. I think the medical bills last year were greater than $500,000 and this year may be even higher. I do have Kaiser so much of that has been covered. For those who donate blood, thank you. I have had 20 units of blood so far. Just last week I had to have another unit because my HGB was below the threshold value of 7.2 with RBC, WBC and ANC also being dangerously low again. My blood is tested twice a week. Blood is drawn from a PICC line in my right arm. What happened at the Santa Susana Field Lab? LA's Nuclear Secret | From KNBC in Los Angeles: "During its history, there were several nuclear accidents at the Santa Susana Field Lab. Some experts believe the 1959 partial meltdown at SSFL could be the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history, surpassing the radiation released during the Three Mile Island accident. What caused the nuclear accident at the Santa Susana Field Lab in 1959? Poor environmental and safety practices resulted in radioactive fires at the hot lab and at least four of the reactors suffered significant accidents, including the 1959 partial nuclear meltdown." There was no containment building around the reactor. I knew of two boys in my neighbor who lived across the street from each other who died from cancer at about the same time after the meltdown.
