When I read in our ER today about Chico PD’s K9 dog dying from cancer I was reminded of a story back in April of this year on cancer. Butte County was 58th of 59 counties for cancer and suicide. That is a cause for concern and I hope our medical community is trying to look into this? On my street, about 33% of my neighbors have died from cancer in recent years. We only have 14 houses on the block, but the 3 residents that died were all from cancer and that is really unusual.
