My husband who has led a healthy  lifestyle - not overweight, no smoking or drinking, dances twice a week, very active, got a malignant tumor at the top of his stomach about to enter the esophagus, so he just had his stomach removed, the protocol for this cancer. Why we suspect EMF...A year ago in July we had the wifi increased in our backhouse where my husband offices. He went to the doctor in August for his regular check up. All was well. THEN, 6 months later he has a tumor! A friend has a device that measures EMF and in front of his computer it registered off the charts. We moved some items to a more distant outlet and unplugged his computer and the device measured much lower. We cannot fathom another cause for this \"out of the blue\" tumor. He has now lost 20 pounds and can only eat small meals throughout the day.\n\nI support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0701","tags":["cancer-tumors","child-development","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"cac49cb8580c97dcdffd320d5aea5a6dfdc3d0574ca9d5fe3af2c9cbe1fe4950","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-0701","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0701","body_sha256":"ce8a7cc400ce67081b455c357a14c9a1e80df9a04b205dce1c11236dc7519d37","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"cancer","topics":[{"id":"cancer","evidence":"malignant tumor"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":" in July we had the wifi increased in our backhouse where my hus"},{"id":"research","evidence":"identify gaps in current research"},{"id":"children","evidence":"children"}],"summary":"Describes a spouse’s stomach cancer following increased Wi-Fi use in a home office and suspects an exposure connection.
