According to medical statistics, almost 80% of ALL people will develop some form of cancer within their lifetime. Do you know of anyone who was very old and did not die from cancer? People don't even die from things like strokes and heart attacks anymore, just cancer.

Cancer will never be cured solely because it is an immensely profitable industry where hundreds of billions of dollars in profit are made for the medical establishment. Cancer is about making money for greedy businesspeople, and not about saving lives.

Do you know of anyone who died from something other than cancer? Do you know of anyone who has never had cancer?

I'd have to say that 4 in every 5 (80%) of all people will be dead from cancer long before they are old. This is because of the constant exposure to carcinogens and toxic chemicals in our daily lives, especially in the food chain. 60 years ago only 1 in 50 (2%) of people developed cancer. Now it's something like 3 in 4!!!!!

It's also comforting to know that the medical industry is not trying to cure the disease because of the untold mountains of money (billions upon billions of $) being made from treating it.

My father died of natural causes...he was 82 when he died on the golf course sinking a double eagle. Had no cancer, just a ticker that gave up the ghost.
 
My grandma dies of heart faliure, age 92. Her little brother (my great uncle) died of kindney faliure, age 86. Her half sister, died from non-specific causes, age 86. My great grandma died, age 88, from a stroke.
 
My grandma died in her 80s from old age. She was just old and a bit batty. No ill health as such.
 
My ex is a Cancer.

She didn't kill me, so I think you're all safe.

When I smoked, a kept a ciggy lighter that said "cancer" with the crab on it. People kept asking me if I was a caner, I was always like, "Close, I'm a leo".

"Them why the lighter? Are you on the cusp?"

"Nah. I just like to light my coffin nails with a lighter that says, 'cancer'. Because that's how I roll."
 
My Grandma was 82 last year when she got lung cancer and she beat it. She'll probably outlive all of us lol.
 
My parents didn't die of cancer. My mother in law did. My father in law didn't.
My uncles and aunts didn't die of cancer. All except my mother, who died in her mid-70s, lived into their 80s and 90s.

My four grandparents didn't die of cancer. My great-grandparents didn't die of cancer. For my ancestors earlier than them, diagnoses of causes of death in the elderly were of conditions that aren't medically acceptable now, and euphemisms were common for some conditions such as TB. In the mid 19th Century "Old Age" was enough of a diagnosis for anyone over 70. :rolleyes:

One of my great-great-great-grandfathers died aged 99 in the 18th Century. His death was described in the Parish Register as "died from every attribute wearing out except his intelligence".
 
My grandmother died of cancer just under a year ago, she was in her early 80s. My grandfather (her husband) had just been treated for cancer before she was diagnosed but he has recently been given the all clear and is now 90. Other causes of death from people I've known? Heart attack/failure, lung cancer, smacked down on a piss-up and ended up smashing head onto pavement, plenty of different causes.

There are some who claim the cure to cancer was found a long time ago but it suits big business to keep under wraps. Don't believe that for a second, but I've noticed recently a large increase in the numbers of mainstream news pieces about how costly the old are and will be in the future in the UK (apparently, we're all getting older - these scientists just aren't paid enough) and elsewhere other articles about how we should let people die rather than spend the money on keeping them alive, etc. There have even been cases of this recently in the UK though one would hope not based on authority from above.

It's sad that even now in the 21st century we still value money above humanity - roll on the next war as Libya's death-toll has been a bit disappointing for some.....

You've got to also remember how bad cancer treatments suck. You actually feel fine until you start the radiation/chemo shit. Seriously. The drugs and treatments make you feel worse then the fucking cancer.

Actually, the TV show "Archer" had a remarkably realistic portrayal of cancer when the main character got it. That's pretty much how you feel. The treatment is to poison your entire body and hope that they get the bad cells. There's got to be a better way to do it. I mean, I'm not a doctor, but there's got to be something that isn't, you know... that.

And they charge out the ass for it.

Fuck cancer.
 
Or Saddam Hussein; Adolf Hitler; Osama Bin Laden; John Lennon; and all those killed by the Nazis in concentration camps or as forced labour.

Hmmm. or RFK, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Julius Ceasar, Christ, the 911 victims, Hiroshima, Nagasaki ..... Then list goes on. :)

Don't worry, be happy.
 
Everyone in my family who died of cancer, either smoked or chewed tobacco, so they kind of knew what chances they were taking. My great grandmother died of breast cancer, which no one really knows why you get, other than genetics. However, my mom's grandmother smoked & drank until the day she died, at the ripe old age of 95. Other than some lung damage from the smoking (which isn't what killed her), she was pretty healthy.

Malignant neoplasms is still second (a close second), to heart disease for cause of death, at like 24%....
 
Did you die from cancer, Mike?

Not yet, but I'm sure I'll have to deal with it one day, just like nearly EVERYBODY in this generation.

What are some of the very early symptoms of cancer?
 
Does omitting words from thread titles cause cancer, Mike?

Does emitting them cause the same, Mike?

If so, I'm screwed.
