    My friend has Auto-immune, and Cancer. It's heartbreaking that nothing can be done about it. She's a doctor and treats patients while being in tremendous pain and on heavy medications. They say she only has 1 or 2 years to live. I feel so helpless, not being able to do anything. I wouldn't wish this upon even my greatest foes.

I think I am very fortunate; genetically and environmentally. I haven’t in my life faced major stress or lost someone close or had happen to be delivered bad news for someone/something. Don’t have any inflammatory disease nor does my family. I don’t think I am doing anything different than my peers. Never smoked, never drink(prohibited in my country), used to be an every day swimmer for 30+ years. I practice scuba diving very often, fishing, hike.

    Having recently discovered that my father has esophageal cancer - after both my grandfather and oldest nephew had it and survived - I was quite scared I might get it as well. While that chance is always going to be there, regardless of genetics, I'm glad that technology is advancing so much. I have hope that no matter how tough this thing gets, humanity will always find a way to suppress and/or cure it.
    My heart goes out to all of you who've gone through or have survived it, as well as to the scientists who are doing their absolute best to find better methods to beat this thing.

      All you can do really is minimize the risk of getting it in the meantime. Like sure you can get lung cancer even as a non-smoker, but you have a much much less likely chance of developing it obviously if you don't smoke. This applies to all other cancers as well. But at the end of the day it's beyond your control, so there's really no sense in worrying about it. Just know you'll be able to deal with it if you do get it, and yeah technology is improving but at the end of the day the cynical side of me believes that the for-profit healthcare system we have ensures there is more money in not curing cancer altogether, but treating it.

      Not to be a downer - hopefully a realist - the best thing is still early detection/prevention. There’s a recent book about how little cancer treatment has actually improved in the last 60 years. So yes, hopefully things will improve, but don’t put too much faith in that idea. Good healthcare, prevention and early detection is the best hope.

    I’ve survived a relatively mild, yet super rare cancer. I was born, yes actually born with a malignant melanoma on my upper right arm, that was finally successfully removed at age six after x-rays, and cat scans found that it was fully wrapped around the bone and sapping my bone marrow. I was super weak all the time, and couldn’t play with my friends or cousins. Shands in NYC, and Arnold Palmer hospital saved my life when most other doctors said the cancer was too far gone, but they did it, and I just turned 38 four days ago. Cancer sucks.

You doin God's work, brother. (Jk, God(s) is/are a byproduct of our attachment system-a social construct, like money or the tooth fairy... regardless, you doin real nice work outchea brotha)
