1. My sister -in-law just had a biopsy of nodules on her thyroid gland
It was "negative". There seems to be many cases of these thyroid problems in the Pittsburgh area. I don't have the stats right now to back up my claim, but I know at least 10 people over the years who have had their thyroid gland removed.

The Pittsburgh area is the site of the first commercial nuclear power plant (Shippingport) and combined with all the industry that used to occur there, I believe that is the reason for the numerous thyroid problems.
