With close family members having fought
cancer more times than I can count on one hand
Sorry for this question, but how did that happen?
I'm asking because I know of nobody in my family to have had cancer. My grandpa did have a brain tumor diagnosed at age 80, but it was benign.
Are you living in a polluted city? What are you eating?
EDIT: I'm sorry if I offended with this question. The thing is I'm worried that I'm living in a polluted/crowded city, and hearing from others that cancer is really not that uncommon, it kind of makes me freak out ... not necessarily for me, but for my baby boy.
Really, I just want to know what is to be done for prevention.
Chance? Behavior? I've had 3 close relatives die from cancer (Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma - Lung, Lung, Brain). Adding 3 more people to a list like that isn't far fetched. In developed countries - Cancer is a huge killer, worldwide - it kills 13% of people.
Also note that the poster said close family members fought cancer a double-hand number of times. That could mean over 5 people, though it could also mean one or more family members had multiple run-ins with cancer, surviving at least the first few times.
