"a terrible cough that the doctors did not know what it was"
This is a sign of too much of some kind of chemical poisoning or overexposure ... other things can be, too
How does your body 'complain' about too much of some chemical?
I suspect in this man's case ... that all the time the cough was going on ... he could have been getting a chemical exposure that led to an end health result of CNS Lymphoma (The kind of thing that 2-butoxyethanol could cause)
... whereas if he could have 'pinpointed' the source of exposure, and stopped it, he may have never gotten to this extreme health concern of CNS Lymphoma
Notice in this man's case that something else gets the blame for the cough: cell phones? stress?

I am so sorry for your loss
I have learned a lot about a chemical exposure that would cause such
What was your dad doing when this cough started?

| | my dad worked in a candy factory for 20 + years. He also had a virus based pneumonia (lung disease) when the cough started some 10+ years ago and he always coughed for 6 weeks when he got a cold. can you help me know what caused it?

Got a cold?
Then you are really talking about 'flu symptoms'
I did a web page on ... "what were you doing when you started 'sniffling'?
The 'cold' might itself be another way a person's body 'complains' about too much of some kind of chemical.
Did he change jobs at the candy factory? In this assembly line business, whatever job a person did, they would likely do over and over again. What jobs kept the machinery functioning well? What did they use to clean with?

| | He started working at the warehouse in his 20s. He the progressed slowly into office word throughout his life and became the CEO. He was alwyas heavely around the factory though were the candy was made, he walked around there at least 5 hours a day. He's father and father's brothers who founded the place both became old one 83 and his dad 92 and his mom is still alive at 91. Do you know anyone with both parents getting over 91? I didnt think so! My dad got sick when he was 58 and was bedridden for one entire year, and died at 59. WE cannot begin to explaiin seeing what he had to go through has done to us. Anyway if you can explain anything why became ill, iits a Godsend! I dont know much about chemicals, but no one else of 80 workers have gotten cancer. Might it be cell phones? The doctors denied it had anything to do with the cough, but i'll tell you my mom and i know that the cancer was involved with the cough one way or the other. Please get back to me.

... now that you share he walked everywhere ...
I would think back if he commented on his eyes burning and hurting ...
What did the factory use to clean the equipment and to keep the machinery operating well?
and I would get the copy of his blood tests and see if the red blood cells were dropping in their counts over time. Maybe still in normal range, but not normal for him. Did the urinalysis show any blood in urine? www.valdezlink.com/psa.htm
Problem is that they don't check enough to find the harm of this chemical ... that's why they say they don't know what the fatigue is in CFS www.valdezlink.com/cfid_share.htm

In that case, what jobs have the highest turnover? Some workers came and went, but your dad was there all the time. Also, what hobbies did he have? Did he paint cars in his spare time ... starting about when the 'cough' started?
They also CLEAN the candy making machinery frequently. Other people could have gotten exposures to the cleaning products, too, but not as much, so not the same degree of exposure, so a lesser harm.
Sure would like to know what they were doing in the candy factory when he got his 'cold' ... also for
CNS Lymphoma - a wife shares
My husband was diagnosed with CNS Lymphoma 5 years ago at age 46. It was devastating. We have been told the cancer is always fatal, and the average life span is 4 years. This is a difficult prognosis to live with. We have 4 children.
His cancer began as headaches, vision problems, and finally what they thought was a stroke. He was rushed to the hospital, unable to speak, and a CT scan found a lesion on his right brain. The lesion was removed in surgery and the biopsy showed CNS lymphoma.
The treatment was massive doses of chemotherapy (I think 3 different kinds: methotrexate, vincristine and one other that I cannot remember); he had full brain and eye radiation for several weeks; he also took steroids during this time. He was rarely sick, and was never in pain. He was very tired, and lost his hair with the radiation. After 6 months of treatment, he returned to work.
The side effects of the treatment have been some hearing loss (very bad on one side, and a little on the other) and some memory problems.
We have been blessed with 5 years. We were told that CNS Lymphomas only respond with these 3 treatments in combination: chemo, steroids and radiation. We live with the knowledge that this cancer will return. We have been told that when it returns, the treatment cannot include radiation, because to radiate the brain again would destroy his brain - and that chemo and steroids alone will not stop the cancer.
God bless you all. We try to live each day well - and enjoy our family and laugh as much as possible. Mostly life has returned to normal, although as I said, we are waiting...
