She calls her neighborhood a &#8220;cancer cluster&#8221; because of the high rates of cancer and other health conditions that she says are a direct result. Phillips travels to Lake City to get water in reusable jugs from a Home Depot faucet when she has the gas to drive there. Otherwise, all she can do is worry about her boyfriend&#8217;s children&#8217;s safety and pray that they don&#8217;t test positive for cancer. They&#8217;re already complaining of aching bones and get sick frequently. This is her story of survival in a mining culture community. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louella Phillips says the water in her hometown of Mulberry was contaminated from phosphate mining in the area.
