Family ties cancer to Berlin & Farro

I wonder how many people in Swartz Creek have cancer. Is the rate of cancer here higher than normal. To me it seems that there is defiately a cancer cluster. At Elms Road Elementary school there have been two cases of breast cancer, one case of finger cancer, one case of ovarian cancer, and now a student with Ewings sarcoma. A number of my next door neighbors also have cancer. I personally know of at least 7 people who have cancer in Swartz Creek, not including the two written about in the article. Is it normal to know so many people with cancer?

Thanks for posting,
I am the sister and aunt of the voelker family,that were in this article

its a shame,
i would really like to talk to you,
if your willing,

Dats my mommma...
my momma had cancer and that was the scaryest thing ever.
When i found out my mom had cancer i didnt know what to say.

But everythings okay.

Lots of people have cancer all over the country. It comes from a life time of exposure to hormones and chemicals. I dont think that Swartz Creek has a higher incident of cancer than any other area in general.

For your information pat ...
his they found arsenic in his water..one of the 14 chemials or more .
dumped there.
no homes were ment to be built there,
and the arsinic was 3x over the amount.
which caused his cancer and his daughters

I strongly believe that all of the people in Swartz Creek-near the Berlin and Farrow Dump Site, are DEFINITELY developing cancers due to residual toxins in the water and the ground. Why else would the city of Swartz Creek decide (after a supposed total removal of all toxins) not sell off any of the 40 acres that the dump site is on?? None of the land adjacent to that dump site should have been sold either! My sincere condolences go out to those who have developed cancer and to anyone who will develop cancer or other serious complications due to living near that site.

I lived on Cook Rd. Swartz Creek across from Berlin an went to school with Moma Farrow. I got epilepsy in 1966 an her father told her not to talk to me then my sisters, have got sick an now one of the has cancer.
The people that moved into th house were I lived out of 5 children 3 have cancer 1 is dead he died at the age of 48 with cancer, they couldnt do anything more for him. the others have a death sentence.
I will be writing again I WANT TO TRY TO GET HELP FOR THE OTHERS IN THE THAT BERLIN HAS HURT THE MAN THAT DIE WAS MY COUSIN HIS KIDS ARE GRIEVING THEY DONT KNOW ABOT BERLIN.

Berlin and Farro is in Gaines Township, not Swartz Creek. Gaines, Syring and Morrish Elementary Schools are more likely to serve the Gaines Township than Elms Road.

I lived in the gaines area an weent to school in Swartz Creek as you know in the county the roads are few an far in between. The main roads were Morrish rd. an Cook road. Berlin lived on Morish rd. when I was there. this is south of Grand Blanc
Rd.

My sister lives real close to a store called "Issacs" on Morrish/Grand Blanc Rd. My children spent alot of time at there Aunts house while growing up in there younger years. My son is now 25 yrs old and daughter 15 yrs old. In Jan.08 he was diagnosed at UofM in Ann Arbor with an extremely "Rare" type of cancer that affects the digits - toes, fingers. He is #18 to come down with this type of cancer according to UofM and also he has been reported to be the youngest to date affected by this rare cancer. He lost his left big toe. It just makes me wonder about this Berlin & Farrow toxic waste dump. Emails welcome: kak51362@yahoo.com

OOPS: RE: Kelly Klein's posting. I live in Flint, MI now not Fenton. And the above was posted on 7-25-08.
Thanks for listening.

Im aware where it is but when it was put in the ground .It ran right to the creek in Swarz creek. It killed all the fish there.. Cancer rate is very high in that area....

I have a friend that lived 1.5 miles from the site from 1974-1985. She developed Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 1985 and had 2 recurrances.
