It feels like cancer is becoming a younger disease

A friend of mine was just diagnosed with breast cancer. 35. When I was a kid the first person I knew who got breast cancer was in her 60s and was a grandmother. Also had another acquaintance who recently got skin cancer. Scary.

My aunt died of breast cancer before she turned 32. This was in 1995.

Just because you start to notice it does not mean that it is occurring on average more often in younger people; however, skin cancer is trending towards younger individuals due to tanning bed use.

You're just hearing about it more.
Plus there's a push for earlier detection. Which is good

Improved medical technology is helping doctors detect disease faster. I don't think its the disease getting younger.

frick cancer, but I agree with genro. You're just getting older.

My mother died in 1970 from breast cancer at the age of 39. Dad remarried and stepmother died in '72 from cancer, age 47.
Cancer doesn't care when or where it shows up.

With genetically altered vegetable and meat put on shelves that are full of preservatives and such there really is no telling what the long term affects are. Sure the FDA can do test on things to see what immediate effects it has but they cant test the effects of 40 or 50 years of this stuff being put in your system and over several generations.

Phones and computers man. Phones and computers.

My best friend of many years died at age 35 in December of terminal cancer.
I agree with the "frick Cancer" movement wholeheartedly.
RIP EJW

Just went to my SO's Aunt's funeral last week. Died from cancer at 63.

The worst is seeing young children diagnosed with it.
Ex: 7 year old broke her glasses. Mom brings her to eye doctor to get new glasses and she requires a new eye exam....eye doctor sees something weird....brain tumor

Anybody think that perhaps the cure to all cancers is out there somewhere, already discovered? And that "they" are just not giving it out, because the money is behind the treatment and not the cure?

My brother was diagnosed about a month ago. Just turned 20 on Monday.

I was diagnosed at age 41. Relapsed when I was 42. I do attribute a great deal of cause to the crap in our mass produced food industry. Trying to eat as little of processed food as possible these days.

Being in the cancer diagnostic medical sales field is a double edges sword. I love knowing I am helping get the most advanced detection equipment out there to help patients but it also is so sad going face to face with a horrible disease every day.
My mom died of breast cancer a few years back.
I could bore you with the advances we are making, but the good news is too late for too many people.
