Wow. Great post.

My comment.

I used to drink/smoked alot when I was younger but pretty much stopped when my daughter was born in '95. Eight years later I was diagnosed.

My personal opinion was/is.

I beleive that you are pre-disposed to this.

Certainly there are 75 yo men and women sitting in a tavern right now chain smoking and drinking scotch. And they have been doing that for 40+ years. Why not them?

Well, I beleive it's in the gene pool. My mom, uncle, grandmother, and great grandmother (same side) all had cancer at some point in their lives. Uncle died from it.

I would love to see a real study based on people that never smoked or drank and their family history of cancer. I think that would be interesting.

Gotta run
