I do wonder about the genetic predisposition...my father was dead at the age of 48yrs from upper colon cancer; his mother died from bowel cancer; my mother now has ovarian cancer; my great aunt had liver cancer; my maternal grandmother had breast cancer; my great grandfather also died from cancer; and I don't know how many more else, as my family is a bit disjointed. My elder sister still smokes, plus some friends of mine; my horrible stepfather who was an alcoholic and heavy smoker lived to his late 70's never suffered this disease. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why some of us are afflicted. Most of my family are/were healthy eaters, lots of fruit and veg, exercise, but I still don't understand why some people have to go through this, when they have been good people....okay, apologies for my rant...still scared.

Cheers!
