Anyone involved in prep and administration of BLEOMYCIN IN EARLY 1970s developed a blood cancer.

Friend and colleague of mine, both involved in this, same hospital group developedPV AT SAME TIME, now progressed to MF.

VERY INTERESTED to learn of anyone in same situation.

Interesting but not surprising. Many chemo drugs are carcinogenics in themselves. I was a veterinary oncology technician for about a year and I will never forget the headaches I got after preparing and administering Mustargen (same stuff in Mustard gas)...that was enough for me to know I didn't want to be working with chemo drugs anymore.
