I never heard she was sick.
RIP.
Not so, My “across the street” neighbor has been battling it for 5 years successfully. She still is working 5 days a week.
There’s always survivors. I can’t believe how many still die every year
The numbers are going down but I do think for most women a breast cancer reduction diet is much more important than genetics. Of course breast cancer researchers still die also (RIP Dr. Beth Levine) so that isn’t the entire answer.
Ah, conspiracy theories are more fun than the truth :-)
I’ve lost count of the women I know with breast cancer.
Something’s going on. Maybe the numbers were always this bad. I don’t know. None of my aunts in their 80s and 90s got it. Maybe half of everyone woman in the family under 65 has it. .. crazy enough I just found out today my sister-in-law has stage 1 breast cancer
Well like I said in another post I found out my sister-in-law has stage 1 breast cancer so I will hope she beats it and lives a long time
One sister had a mastectomy. Most recent gal I was with had it twice. Two cousins have had it....
I also said that I don’t know anyone in my family over 80 who had it.
Everyone is 65 or younger. Most of them got it in their 40s
The FDA exists to keep people from taking dangerous or ineffective medicines.
True, Europe has medicines not yet approved, but the stricter standards kept thalidomide off the market.
As for big pharma... antibiotics, cancer chemotherapy, high blood pressure medicine, etc are the result of big pharma. And I am old enough to remember things before a lot of these medicines existed.
I’m quite certain that a link between oral contraceptives and breast cancer has been pretty well established. Nobody in today’s death-cult society wants that out in the open, though.
They were all on the pill
Well, pregnancy is a disease. The government says so!
That said, my deepest sympathy to all Ms. Preston’s family and friends.
“That’s the third loved one John has lost
My deepest condolences to the family.”
Gosh, you’re right. How awful.
May I add my condolences and prayers for him and his family.
My dad was on a trip to Hawaii for work (yeah, tough job! LOL!). Anyway, he was in the pool and saw, right in there with him, John Travolta. He introduced himself and said that John was the friendliest, nicest guy you could imagine.
I obviously don’t know if any relatives or if all of them took it..but what I see in my family is nobody over a certain age ever having gotten it. 80 and over and there are a lot..
The younger crowd is getting hit hard.
“Why do so many still die from cancer?”
My sister lost her nine-year-old son to cancer. It is a terrible disease, but I read that medical researchers are working on combining a virus with an anti-cancer agent; when it’s injected into mice, it kind of eats away at the cancer cells. Apparently, they have had promising results.
As I read your post all of the wind came right out of me and my stomach sunk...
I don’t have the words :(
“I want to know how Ruth Bader Ginsburg is alive with AI want to know how Ruth Bader Ginsburg is alive with pancreatic cancer. That’s like an unbeatable cancer.”
That’s what I understand as well. I had an acquaintance who died from that. Apparently by the time the symptoms appear, it’s too late to treat it, so people tend to die pretty quickly.
It’s rare but I’ve known two people who had it and yeah they didn’t last a year.
I am sorry about your acquaintance. I am sorry for him or her too. That’s just a hard way to go
