I am a 36-year old who's never smoked, never drank (never taken more than a taste of any alcohol), never taken a drug, never had an STD in my life. I think there's not a viral reason for my cancer, though it's early and not every question has been answered. I have always had a weight problem, and have recently had hypertension. I never heard those were factors with cancer. Why I have cancer is a huge mystery, unless you believe the rumors about diet pop/artificial sweetener.
