Exposure to TCE'S and VOC'S

Just noted from a ultra sound that two lesions are present on my Liver. While I realize the chance of them being cancerous is low I am beginning to wonder what a water system that had high levels of TCE's and other chemicals could have played in my development of this condition. Does anybody know a competent Medical practitioner who may have insight to TCE exposure as well as exposure to VOC's. There have been 100 cases reported on Schofield Barracks alone.

Don't know a doc to recommend, but there isn't much doubt that TCE is bad for you, including promoting liver cancer since the liver has to detox it.

Going through similar issues. Have NASH among other things as well. Was exposed to the contaminated water at camp Lejeune North Carolina. PCE, TCE, vinyl chloride, benzene and others. It's frustrating because when you find a doctor and mention these things it seems like they don't want even talk about it. Good luck with your follow-up
