You could look at the odds another way.
Statistically
Yes what are the odds, that 'we' (Mary and I)
could eat, sleep, breathe, chat and surf in THE SAME ENVIRONMENT
for some SEVEN YEARS almost
and, also-shared snacks, water-bottles, shared (divided) meals and, same bedding
same bedroom-window open 24/7 ~thru wind rain and shine, same washing machine
and detergents ? YET (somehow) NOT BE, in the presence of the similar 'TRIGGER'
[carcinogen] ? However, 'taken-up'
Did you mean ....
Do The Math ?
The
Math, gives me a 50/50 chance (even)
of, absorbing the 'particle'(s) that 'did-for' Mary
of, absorbing particle(s) from a 'visiting-cloud' that 'we-shared'
We were, 'so-alike'
eye-colour, hair colour, 5 children each, (my second spouse, came with a 17 month old daughter)
both of us had, a middle-child that we had named David
and both of them, shared the same birthdate,
ten years apart
and, both of us had been yoked, with unfaithful spouses ~for 30 years+
we 'shared' _
everything
~except, her "Liver and Onions" & "Black-Pudding"
^^I would eat 'out' for 'a couple of hours' :green:
otherwise, we were 'so-close' / 'mutually-complementary'
and used similar cooking ingredients and cooking techniques (habitually)
But yes, there was, a 'trigger'
and, I was,
apart-from Bristol Trips[x2]
'present' 24/7 and 365
for the six-years, prior-to Mary's diagnosis (?)
So, while, that little particle of radioactive material MIGHT have
been, a discrete PARTICLE ?
one, that blew-in by-chance / came 'locked-into' some morsel, of food / drink
~ Mary's '
ODDS' were set 'against-her'
I will update, after, I have had a scan, which will provide
a clearer-vision of the condition of that area
Statistically it would be very unlikely, IMO, for two people in the same household to have the same serious, 'non-infectious', 'non-contagious' illness within so short a space of time.
It's not a virus, bacteria or germ
It
IS, a 'radio
source'
a
particle too-small, for the human eye to-detect
IS, considerable difficult (near impossible) for the body to
pass-it, through and out, of the body
Q
uestion:
was it,
a single particle,
or, did a cloud come drifting-by ?
'
Too-many horses' in the race... what, is to come next ?
~may not be up to me
