Too many people I know have/had cancer. Some have died, and some are dying.
I hate cancer!
Woman with eight sequential cancers and eight successful treatment regimens ... well, I am very pro-life over the whole span of an individual’s lifetime but at some point shouldn’t a person start to wonder if God is calling him/her back home? And feel no guilt over the multi-millions this is costing (no doubt other patients are being denied treatment and medical insurance premiums are skyrocketing for thousands). I could not live with that knowledge.
Cancer ping.
What the article failled to point out is that people are able to get second cancers because they did not die from the first cancer.
That is more likely the reason we are seeing this rise of second cancers as with all disease, injuries, etc. Stuff that use to kill people younger is being treated, giving people the opportunity to die from something else later in life.

If you have cancer or know someone who does, you should at least get a second opinion on your diagnosis and treatment at a place like MD Anderson, the best cancer center in the world.
Add to that, if you had cancer you are closely monitored for years to come. Those CT/PET scans can turn up some of the smallest of 'growths.' So much so, I go back in October to remove what they believe is my colon cancer coming back to the operative site three years ago. So small on the CT/PET but they know the trends. So we are ahead of the curve this time and I will probably avoid chemo.
