View Full Version : Cancer question



02-04-2009, 02:37 PM
I am now a disabled and forced-to-retire police officer. I am now free to research what nearly killed me, and may have done so to officers you might have known. I am looking for officers, or informtaion you would share, about deceased officers, who suffered any form of cancer that occurred from the chest or above that. The unusual form of cancer attacks
less than 1% of the population, and its generic name is "parotid cancer".

Any and all information will be kept confidential, and my intent and purpose is to see if we, the brotherhood in blue, have been gunea pigs for communications companies. Wearing equipment on my shoulder over 25 years has me suspecting, as I and no one in any place on the family tree ever had such a cancer. This will be a long and hopefully a thorough examination to ensure it is or isn't feasible.

Thank you, and if you are still uncertain of my legitimacy feel free to contact me at Hammer_thors@yahoo.com

stay safe and watch each others backs

A number of years ago, there was an FHP trooper in the Brooksville troop who had some sort of fatal cancer that, at the time, they were saying may have come rom his dashboard radar unit. I'm ashamed of myself that I can't remember his name but I didn't really know him that well. Anyway, maybe that is another cause for you to look into. Maybe someone out there will remember his name and what type of cancer he had and help you out.

His name was Tommy Greer, I believe I spelled the last name correctly. If I'm not mistaken it was a form of brain cancer that he had and yes it was attributed to the radar within the car. Then Sheriff Mylander out of concern for the safety of the deputies mandated that all radar antenna be mounted outside the car. Hope this helps.
