More cancer in the world

in Kidney Cancer #1

I got a bit behind on this forum and decided to just take a few weeks off.

Now I am a long way behind and slowly catching up. I think the forum is quite busy now.

While I am musing about nothing in particular...

There seems to be an awful lot of cancer in the world these days. Maybe it is a function of getting older, but nearly every time I hear about someone becoming ill, it is cancer related.

Steve.

    in my small town there are 5

    in my small town there are 5 people I know that have been diagnosed with RCC this year. And 4 more my doctor said he’s seen this year. For a cancer that is 65,000 new per year  in the nation That seems like a lot to me For one area.

    Yes, there is more cancer.

    Yes, there is more cancer. Skies polluted with chemtrails, franken foods, vaccines, water. Younger people contracting cancer. I know too many. A friend 42 suddenly died of liver cancer. Several family members and friends, 13 in my congregation alone. I would say there is an epidemic.  Hugs and good wishes for all.

    The ongong radiation releases

    The ongong radiation releases from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean haven't helped matters cancer-wise.

    Good news and bad news

    There's good news and bad news... More people being diagnosed with cancer? We aren't dying of heart attacks, infections, farming accidents, complications of child birth, pneumonia, strokes, influenza, and undulent fever like we used to. We have modern scanning and other diagnostic tools and methods at our disposal, so we get more of the news sooner rather than later (or not at all). There are more treatment options, so we hear about folks getting surgery and chemo and radiation and such. Which reminds me - we talk about cancer. I remember when it was discussed in hushed voices, if at all. 

    I was chatting with a geneticist friend once about my family, and mentioned that as far as anyone could remember, my great-grandmother's generation pretty much died of old age. "We just assume a lot of those 'old age' deaths were due to cancer," he said. 

    Huh...
