Friend of a friend is 33 with ovarian cancer. 2 kids and the doctors told her that she only has a few months. Horrible. I can't imagine.

I have a close friend that got colon cancer last year when he was only 35. I agree that is does seem to be afflicting people at an earlier age and I fear I will probably die from it one day.

This thread is scary. I worry about this daily, especially now being a mother. I often wonder if it is the exposure to more wireless technologies and microwaves. Hell, I even worry that our video monitors are bad for us sometimes.

I agree that there is too much crap in our foods.

I also worry that we expose our bodies to too much synthetic drugs (over the counter and prescription) that we simply don't need. I wonder if that plays a role in cancer causing agents.

I did read once that hormone imbalance can play a role in cancer

I worry way too much about it, but its hard for me not to with two small kiddos. I love them too much and also I don't want them growing up without a parent.

Lost an uncle to cancer. He hadn't been feeling well, and when he went to the doctor and got the results, everyone was in shock. The doctors and hospital staff put together a go forward plan and told him what treatments they would put him on to beat it. He was gone 3 days later...

He wasn't even 40 yet. Left behind two beautiful children.

In the last 5 years, my mom has survived breast cancer and stomach cancer. She had to have a double mastectomy and had probably 75% of her stomach removed. Both cancers were within 2-3 years of each other. She is doing great today though.
