Pediatric Cancer: Military Families Search for Answers

More Families Come Forward

When Amanda and Melany discussed the potential connection between Roman and Katie’s cancers, the two quickly came to the determination that they needed to look deeper. Melany had been researching a potential correlation and found that there were underground storage tanks (UST) buried beneath the homes aboard Laurel Bay. These USTs were used to heat homes in the past, but have not been used in decades.

The tanks have leaked Benzene, a known cancer-causing agent, into the soil surrounding the homes they were meant to heat. Amanda explains in the video that the Benzene leak is “not a conspiracy theory; it is fact” since documents of these leaks can be found in a simple Google search, having been put out by the government. There are memos, PowerPoint presentations, environmental clean-up orders and even meeting minutes from state health agencies, all available on the internet.

Melany continued her research and found several other families whose children were diagnosed with cancer. She and Amanda decided it was time to take this information the Navy and the Marine Corps.

In March of 2015, there was a meeting between the families and base officials regarding the potential connection. The family made a request in that meeting, asking that the military notify current and past residents about the investigation into this issue. An agreement was made that there would be an investigation, but it would appear that little progress has been made since that meeting…until Amanda had learned that yet another child that had resided on Laurel Bay had received a cancer diagnosis.
