They say she only has 1 or 2 years to live. I feel so helpless, not being able to do anything. I wouldn't wish this upon even my greatest foes.

I think I am very fortunate; genetically and environmentally. I haven’t in my life faced major stress or lost someone close or had happen to be delivered bad news for someone/something. Don’t have any inflammatory disease nor does my family. I don’t think I am doing anything different than my peers. Never smoked, never drink(prohibited in my country), used to be an every day swimmer for 30+ years. I practice scuba diving very often, fishing, hike.

    Having recently discovered that my father has esophageal cancer - after both my grandfather and oldest nephew had it and survived - I was quite scared I might get it as well. While that chance is always going to be there, regardless of genetics, I'm glad that technology is advancing so much. I have hope that no matter how tough this thing gets, humanity will always find a way to suppress and/or cure it.
    My heart goes out to all of you who've gone through or have survived it, as well as to the scientists who are doing their absolute best to find better methods to beat this thing.

      All you can do really is minimize the risk of getting it in the meantime. Like sure you can get lung cancer even as a non-smoker, but you have a much much less likely chance of developing it obviously if you don't smoke. This applies to all other cancers as well. But at the end of the day it's beyond your control, so there's really no sense in worrying about it. Just know you'll be able to deal with it if you do get it, and yeah technology is improving but at the end of the day the cynical side of me believes that the for-profit healthcare system we have ensures there is more money in not curing cancer altogether, but treating it.

      Not to be a downer - hopefully a realist - the best thing is still early detection/prevention.

Good healthcare, prevention and early detection is the best hope.

    Also cancer can be caused by Chromosomal translocation where a part of one chromosome breaks off and joins to another chromosome, such as the case of the Philadelphia chromosome implicated in certain leukaemia’s. Here genes involved in cell division end up getting placed next to the powerful promotors involved in antibody production resulting in a massive acceleration in cell division.
    Chromosomal translocation can occur when there are a series of weak base pair sequences that can create a weakness in the chromosome and tendency to break. Such weak base pair sequences themselves could be inherited or caused by mutations.

    I am pleased that the mistaken belief that in previous centuries people did not live to old age was explained in this video. People often misunderstand the reference to an "average" age was skewed by the high infant mortality rate. Essentially in the past, if you survived into adulthood you would see out a decent lifespan. Once better sanitation with clean water acts was introduced in overcrowded cities and there were improvements in housing, the infant mortality rate improved and the "average" life expectancy increased accordingly.

I was super weak all the time, and couldn’t play with my friends or cousins. Shands in NYC, and Arnold Palmer hospital saved my life when most other doctors said the cancer was too far gone, but they did it, and I just turned 38 four days ago. Cancer sucks.

    The 10 leading causes of death by age group-diagram is pretty sad. The 3rd most leading cause for kids of 1-4 years old is homocide... And ( i looked it up) mosts homicides in babies/kids are parents, or at least family members, killing their baby child.
    Put it this way: In 2008, more parents have killed their 1-4 year old kid than cancer has killed them. And when kids are 5-9 cancer kills them more, but still very closely followed by their parents killing them.
    Sometimes I feel sad when pondering over such devastating stats. Thats all those 421 dead children are now. Stats. A number to show us how many sick people are in the world.

    Well, at any moment about 25% of people have cancer, it’s just that in most cases your body deals with it. It’s partly why full body scans are a big no, because 1 in 4 people will find something and it’s likely they will then worry about it and want something done ASAP but their body would have sorted it.

    All humans develop cells that are cancerous cells, but typically, the cells of humans’ internal natural immune systems detect and destroy the cancerous cells before they grow into tumors that cause symptoms of cancer. Due to the fact that cancer cells rapidly evolve within a humans’ body, some cancer cells evolve the ability to evade the human’s natural internal immune system in various ways, leading to their ability to grow into tumors that cause symptoms of cancer, at which point the cancerous cells will either continue growing until they cause the death of the human or until they are cut out with surgery and/or destroyed with specific cancer drugs that medical doctors prescribe to patients with cancer.
