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.

My oldest brother died at 40 due to cancer everywhere in his body. Agent Orange got him.

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
