With health care in the headlines nationally, local news reports healthy findings for the
town. The Flower Mound Leader states “A Texas Department of State Health Services analysis has found that the occurrence of leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and childhood brain cancers in two ZIP codes in Flower Mound, Texas, is within the expected
ranges for males and females.
In response to community concerns about a possible cluster of cancer
cases, DSHS analyzed the occurrence of childhood and overall leukemia,
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, childhood brain cancer and female breast cancer
in the 75022 and 75028 ZIP codes, using Texas Cancer Registry data from
1998 to 2007. The number of cancer cases occurring in these two ZIP
codes was compared with the number of cases expected based on statewide
rates. Officials say they will continue to monitor the area, which I think is only prudent, but this latest news is encouraging. Here is the complete summary of the report. As always you can see the real estate at www.flowermound-realestate.net before interest rates go up next month.
