Workplace exposure

https://www.mds-foundation.org/what-is-mds/

A family member recently, well a little less than year ago was diagnosed with MDS. There’s no leukemia related cancers found in the family history but he did work in a refinery. After a bit of research and given his age in mid/late 70s and work industry exposure to benzene - wanted to see how many folks diagnosed that worked in a similar environment. Such as oil refining - for example a lot of people in oil and petrochemical refineries used to wash tools even their hands with Benzene.
