My husband was a volunteer fireman for about 20 years and diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 8 years ago. While he was not exposed to as many toxic chemicals as full-time firemen, I do believe there is a connection. Before he was a fireman, we lived in the middle of Kansas out in farming country and crop dusters often flew over our house. Fast forward a few years, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, our son had a brain tumor, and I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I don’t think any of this is just a coincidence.
