my mom grew up in west point for 10 years and just found out she has 4th stage cancer.she lived there in 1980 and moved the day i was born in 1990. The cancer was a surprise to her because she just found out recently this year in june.my mom always feared she would be next because of the toxic waste she lived around year after year year.she's now 39.
