Effects of second hand exposure to crack cocaine
I was smoking crack cocaine and methamphetamines in my room while my sister was in the adjacent room over a period of 4 days. She was diagnosed with leukimia at the age of three, went into remission at the age of five, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age ten. The doctors said it was a low grade astrocytoma located in the left side of the brain.
I was so messed up, I can't even believe I let myself put her in harms way like that. My question is, although she wasn't in the same room as me, she may have gone into my room when I left to go to work, and I was wondering if that could have been enough exposure to have damaged her. She had an aneurysm five months later, and I'm praying to God that it wasn't because of that. My mother said it was because the tumor grew in her head, and that I was just being paranoid, but I need a second opinion, because the feelings of guilt and doubt that I am experiencing are tremendous. If you have an answer for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
