Study links testicular cancer among military personnel to PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld
A new study found strong evidence that airmen who were firefighters had elevated levels of PFAS in their bloodstreams, and for the first time shows a direct association between PFOS, a PFAS chemical, found in the blood of thousands of military personnel, and testicular cancer.

I have had an incurable but manageable cancer for 7 years. I go for maintenance, tests, infusion etc. mostly weekly for all that time so see a lot of veterans and talk to them while we spend hours getting infusions.

They all have burn pit cancer from recent wars and were not protected... just like the agent orange victims of Nam.

We had far more casualties than the ones who had wounds of war.
