THE CRAZIEST THING HAPPENED THIS MORNING!!!!

The CRAZIEST thing happened this morning!!!

I walked into the gas station that I regularly visit & one of the gals that works there said she saw me on the news the other night. She pulled me to the side to ask me about my journey & what it's all about. Anyway, as we are talking a gentleman, in his 60's I would say, stopped us and said that he overheard us talking and asked if he could tell us something crazy about stomach cancer. He said he didn't know my story, but he wan...ted to share it with me. He said in 1975 he moved from the oil rigs to VALLEY CITY, ND and he was pretty buff and weighed a hefty amount. Shortly after moving there, he started to lose a lot of weight. It seemed like nothing he did would allow him to keep the weight on. He knew losing a little weight was possible as he wasn't doing as hard of work, but that much seemed crazy. This gentleman said he visited his friend who worked at the water plant one day and he was surprised by the ring of orange around the top of the tanks & the large green & blue particles in the tanks. He asked his friend what the particles were and he told him it helped to clean the water. The orange was from the not so clean water mixing with the particles. It got him thinking and he decided to no longer drink Valley City water and switched to Spring Water out of Buffalo, ND. He said he wasn't having stomach problems as much, started gaining his weight back, and just overall feeling better. He never did say if HE had stomach cancer, but he did say to be careful of what water we drink. He, also, said he's talked to several friends/family from Valley and it seems as if stomach problems/stomach cancer seems to be quite frequent that he hears of. He kind of left on that note. I'm not quite sure WHAT to think of that, but thought that was quite interesting! My mom would have been 15 and LIVING in VALLEY CITY at that time....he wouldn't have known that....no way he could have. My grandpa was, also, living in VALLEY CITY at that time.

 So...of course, I've been thinking about this ALL day today. Yes, the kind of cancer I have an 83% chance of getting IS genetic, but usually in most cancers, it takes that "one thing" to turn it on. What if THAT was it??? Now, I'm curious to know if anyone else knows of this kind of thing from that time frame--1975ish-- and other people having issues??? CRAZY!
