No one will be able to answer your question as to why you got cancer Marge. There are alot of members who don't fall into the risk area of smoking and drinking that have cancer. What you will find here is all the support from people who have traveled the road you are now on. Questions on treatment, side effects, and support in general.
Have you started your treatment? What treatment has been scheduled for you? What stage is the cancer? P;ease post more details about your cancer and what your treatment will be. There will be several people who will offer advice and support. Take Care and good luck. Dan
