Two years is quick for multiple myeloma. My father died from it - was long slow painful way to go.

I researched it when he was diagnosed and found that one of major causes was exposure to atomic radiation.

That made sense to me because at the time of the Windscale fire in the 50s he was spending large amounts of time on the sands of Morecambe Bay - they had a caravan at Cragbank shore near Carnforth.

Even 20 years after the event they found radiation hotspots in the Wyre estuary.
