That sucks man. There’s something especially upsetting knowing how and why a loved one died, and that there was nothing that could've been done differently.
My Grandpa died of thyroid cancer from these tests. He lived in south-central Utah and remembers feeling tremors from testing on his wedding day.
Study referenced in NYT article that was the basis for the article above:
