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?

Yep. My dad died at 39 almost 20 years ago and only a few years before he passed a girl in the grade ahead of me died. She might have been 12.

It is heartbreaking. And why I don't work on a pediatric oncology floor. Takes a special type of nurse to work there. I couldn't face death like that all the time, it would burn me out with a quickness as a nurse.

My dad's sister died when she was like 8 from a brain tumor. Somewhere around that age. This was in the 60's.

cancer is becoming a younger disease
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.
oh that sucks. My wife had a friend that married a husband whose first wife died of breast cancer. Then she died 2 years later.
I had my first friend die of cancer. 43. Brain tumor.

Differences in technology and commerce and regional communication (TV). What, no microwaves??! 2003 marked the 50 year anniversary of Swanson's TV dinners, which were frozen foods then.
Fewer "convenience foods" but canned and frozen foods were available, as were packaged breads... milk was delivered to your home in bottles!

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

It's not cell phones.
Girls are hitting puberty earlier due to the obesity epidemic and American diet. This leads to increased estrogen and progesterone which increases risk for breast cancer.

Fortunately it looks like he'll be ok. He's at MD Anderson this week. They're pretty optimistic.

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.

I had both Leukemia at a younger age and Lymphoma Burketts around late 20's with bone marrow transplant and inpatient chemo.
When I was at MD Anderson inpatient on the Lymphoma floor most of the people on the floor were men in their 20's to 30's. They had a few older people but it was mostly young men. The other side of the wing was the kids side and it was full of children. It is sad, but I found that the kids take it better than the adults.
I don't know about the other cancers due to the floor I was on was Lymphoma floor.
