   EMF is no stronger near the electric meter than many other places in the house.  No correlation has ever been identified between EMF due to residential wiring and cancer or other such diseases.  (Not to say that there is no such correlation, but it's never been identified by a reliable reseach organization.)

   90% plus of people who get in a car accident have had french fries in the previous month.

   Its easy to find correlations when you are searching for reasons why something terrible has happened. 

   The truth is that most people will eventually get cancer if they live long enough.  There are many causes of cancer such as smoking and yet no one can explain why some people who smoke never get it from smoking while others who don't smoke still come down with lung cancer. 

   At the end of the day, some people are just genetically more predisposed to getting cancer and something likely was a trigger for them but it won't be for someone else.

   I am sorry to hear about the diagnosis.  I pray you family member is able to fight the disease.

   I know how you feel. I lost a brother to brain cancer in 1997. Knowing what could have been causative is was something I also wanted to know, but it didn't change anything.

   ask what the specific type of cancer is, and then do a internet search on it. Some forms do have high correlations to enviromental exposures, but mostly those are chemical, and even then the only definitive research  has come from long term work place exposures.

   Treatment has advance dramaticlly since my brothers  death. I hope you family member is getting the latest treatment, and my thoughts and prayers are with her and your family.

   There is more evidence linking Aspartame to brain cancer than electrical fields, but people are still drinking diet Pepsi
