They are finding that cancer is a very complicated disease. Recent findings suggest that there are many roads that can lead to the same kind of cancer. A woman recently had her complete genome sequenced of both her healthy and cancerous tissues. They found roughly 10 genetic mutations. The surprise is, they've shown that other people with the same kind of leukemia had a different set of genetic mutations. That's just astounding. The implications are enormous.

Risk factors are just a set of probabilities. It doesn't necessarily mean you will get cancer. Did you know that roughly only 20% of all smokers get lung cancer? The reason why it's a risk factor is because 80% of all lung cancer victims are or were smokers.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your daughter's death. I hope she's in a much better place. It's good to be aware, but a life lived in fear, is a life half lived. Just live your life as much as you can. We all have to face the grim reaper some day.
