Yes, many people. So much that we believe our neighborhood has a cancer cluster. We deal with this by research and talking among ourselves to see what the contributing factors are and how we can diferentiate which lifestyles and acts and foods and chemicals contribute to development of which kinds of cancers. We can bring good from bad if we will give of ourselves and work at studying and compiling the information in our families and in our neighborhoods. You can limit transmittal of personal information by using non-personal identifiers and submitting them through a post-office box instead of talking openly if you want to keep your privacy. When we can truly isolate the causes, we can effect a cure.

My Grandma. She had a mastectomy in 1968, another mastectomy in 1982, cancerous tumor removed from her ankle in 1988 and in 1993 she died of lung cancer. When she found out about the lung cancer she didn't want to do the chemo for the 4th time. I was 26 at the time and I selfishly cried and begged her to do it one more time. She did but only lived for about 6 weeks. She was a wonderful, loving, caring, sweet woman. She was all good things rolled into one beautiful, special person. It's been almost 15 years since we lost her and I miss her like crazy. She never smoked or drank alcohol. If there is a Heaven, I know she's there. She certainly earned her wings.

Yes, my husband died at age 36 of pancreatic cancer. He was ill for 18 months before he died. It's a really aggressive form of cancer and nobody told us there is no cure. He got better at one stage and it was a huge shock when his health just deteriorated in a matter of weeks and he passed away.

Both of my parents. My dad had colon, liver, lung, stomach and skin cancer. My mom had stomach cancer. I've had several friends who died from cancer.
The town I grew up in (pop. 1800) had more cancer cases than a town 20 miles away (pop. 30,000).

Cancer runs in my late father's side of the family. He died from cancer himself and there were nine in his family and six of them have died from bowel cancer. It is a terrible disease. I hope you never get it.
