Jim Drohan and his dad, James, were both volunteer firefighters for Ossining, New York . On September 11, James Sr. was working his paying job with AIG, filling in for another tech, volunteering to make the drive to The World Trade Center. His son, James, was working at his job that day with the Ossining Water Department. When it became clear it was a terrorist attack at the Twin Towers, Jim Jr. immediately reported to his fire house and was assigned to help out at a firehouse in The Bronx. His dad had escaped from the tower and helped cops direct people to safety. Despite being caught up the dust cloud, James Sr. was determined to make sure his oldest son was ok . Covered from head to toe in dust, James made his way to the firehouse in The Bronx. Jim didn’t even know at first that it was his dad walking toward him. James Sr. was unrecognizable . Years later, James Sr. started having breathing issues. His doctor said it was COPD or emphysema . It was son Jim who wondered aloud to the doctor if that could be related to his dad being caught up in the dust cloud. In 2018, James’ health took a dramatic change for the worse. He was vomiting each day and turned yellow. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, one of 68 cancers scientifically linked to the 9/11 toxic dust. His tumor was already the size of a soda can. 8 days after his diagnosis, James A. Drohan died. 9/11 cancers are unlike any other. They’re cancers on steroids.
