The Guardian, Aug 20, 2014:

Darius was diagnosed with leukaemia [and] spent a month in hospital in early 2013, soon after his diagnosis. “I thought I was going to have to bury him,” [James Jackson, US Navy] recalled. [He] now has a catheter in his chest […] He is still undergoing treatment for leukaemia, still stuck in hospital […] “I want this just to go away, and to just fast forward the next four years.”
Sailors and their children [say they’ve] suffered thyroid and other cancers, leukaemia, birth defects, and a variety of medical conditions including infertility […] Theodor Holcomb, who served on the USS Reagan aircraft carrier, died of a rare cancer on 24 April.
At the time [of 3/11], Lieutenant Steve Simmons was in peak physical condition. […] By late 2011, Simmons […] experienced a blackout. The episode – accompanied by high fevers, swollen lymph nodes and muscle spasms – was the start of a physical deterioration that, by the time of his retirement from the navy last month, left Simmons confined to a wheelchair.
In early April, [Mike Sebourn] was promoted to radiation decontamination officer, issued with a handheld radiation device, Tyvek suit and respirator […] his son Kimi, who was then eight, went through bouts of extreme nausea and severe nose bleeds, missing a month of school. “The kid could not stop throwing up, over and over and over. It happened every single day […] Not knowing what was wrong with my son was absolutely heartbreaking and just tore me up inside.”

The Guardian, August 19, 2014:

James Jackson, US Navy: My son and I were over there in the region, at the time we stayed about 3 weeks afterwards to continue to help with the relief efforts. What was put out was we didn’t hav anything to worry about.
Darius Jackson: I just started hurting, I just started screaming, I couldn’t move because my body was in so much pain.
James: It was bad and we couldn’t figure out what was going on with him, but his body was changing.
Darius: On New Year’s Day they admitted me to the hospital, a few days, on January 7th, the doctor came in and said I have leukemia. At first I didn’t know what it was.
James: We were approximately 11 days from him losing his life. No parent should have to bury their child.
Mike Sebourn, US Navy: At the time of the Fukushima disaster I was stationed about 125 mile south of Fukushima. My job was to lead a team of 18 sailors and to measure beta and gamma radiation… About a month into the operation I started getting acute sickness — and my son did too. He would go through vomiting fits, he would just throw up 30 to 40 times in a row. I’ve been having issues that started about 4 months after my exposure to radiation. I have acute attenuation in my right arm and right leg. When they measure my right arm, it’s actually 11 cm smaller than my left. Unfortunately, it’s been 3 years and they just can’t figure out what’s wrong — and in the meantime my body just continues to kind of shrivel up.
