Sending her some DU vibes (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

In my small neighborhood, just about everyone was using Roundup 15-20 years ago, except for me. And just about every adult woman in the houses surrounding mine developed breast cancer, except me. One of my neighbors unfortunately died from it.

I refuse to use any kind of herbicides or pesticides in my yard. I lost a beloved dog to cancer when she was only 7. She had a habit of licking puddles of water everywhere we went. It never occurred to me that she might have been affected by yard chemicals in the rain puddles.
