Has any member of your family been diagnosed with cancer?

Yes my grandmother died from lung cancer, though she never smoked. My aunt died of undiagnosed breast cancer that spread. My dad had prostate cancer but after surgery it was gone, and my cousin had cancer (not sure of the type) but diabetes killed him before cancer did.

Yes, my husband's elder brother was a victim of oesophageal carcinoma & he had a very miserable death from that dreadly disease in the year 1998.

Yes. Of the 11 children in my grandma's family, 2 died as children, and 7 had cancer. All survived it.My grandma was only one of two surviving into adulthood who didn't have cancer.

In the next generation, both daughters of one of her sisters died of cancer in middle age in the 80s. The daughters of one have both survived cancer in young adulthood, but the kids of the other daughter have been cancer-free. Several other children of my grandma's siblings have had cancer as well.

My aunt died of a rare and fast-moving liver cancer in her 50s, and her grandson died of the two rarest forms of leukemia at age 6. So I really worry about it myself, because my family history is not good. But on my mom's side, no one has ever had cancer of any kind, going several generations out.

So I hope I've got the genetic makeup of that side, and my kids as well. After my cousin lost his son to leukemia, my same-aged cousin and my daughter being the same age as his son, I got a lot more serious about leading an anti-cancer lifestyle than I had been. I try to keep toxins out of our environment and food, and I try to do things to strengthen our immune systems.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
