View Full Version : I don't want cancer.
Every single shred of research about everything lately has been telling me that I'm for sure getting cancer. It might be from incense, fried foods, too much sun, too little sun...whatever.
Is cancer really that totally inevitable?
Screw it, I'm gonna die in a base-jumping accident if that's the case.

I am seriously convinced every single thing you can possibly do causes cancer.

Shouldn't worry about it. Just face it: someday youŽll die. If it's cancer or something else doesn't really matter. Don't fear the reaper dude!
i survived through my cancer and hardly suffered any pains with it. i noticed it from about the age of 15-16 and it was giving my sharp pains but i didn't know what it was so i just ignored it for years and years, i only felt the sharp pains a hand full of times.
when i got to the age of 24 i got it checked out by my GP, who then referred me to the general hospital and then the hospital referred me to the specialists. i didn't need chemo i just had a biopsy and now everything is fine.
they say it's better to catch it early so that the cancer doesn't spread. i've seen tv shows with people who have cancer and their tumours are huge compared to the one i had. so i guess i was very lucky
Where did you feel the sharp pains? I've had a few recently, but nothing painful, just more like a stitch in my chest.
the tumour was in the fleshy part in the inner corner of my right eye, that's where i'd feel the pain.
it's wierd cos i started smoking about a year before i noticed the tumour and turns out the tumour wasn't anywhere near my mouth or lungs.
i get sharp pains in my chest sometimes, does the sharp pains make you grasp for air at the same time too? i used to think i was feeling the beginnings of a heart attack. i've been getting them for years but i've never gone to my GP or anyone to ask about it. maybe i should
Nah, they don't make me gasp as such but i usually get them as i'm breathing in, and not necessarily after exercise. I hold my breath for a few seconds and then breathe out and in again and they're gone. I usually only get one at a time, for a split second on the left hand side of my upper chest. I've had them for a year on and off now. In all honesty they seem totally random!

people accumulate dna damage at different rates due to genetics, environment etc etc regardless everyone would eventually die of cancer but normally some other ailment or malfunction nicks your life away before cancer fully blooms
there are cool microbes out there that are all "whaaa dna damage??? naa-huuuhhh nigga!" and then have repair systems theyve evolved which allow them to repair even intensive radioactive damage
i wonder how long cancer's been around? did cavemen get cancer? did the romans get cancer? i do wonder

their life expectancies werent long enough for many of them to die of cancer
and genetic cancers are so abundant now because families's sex cells have been accumulating dna damage for generations that is passed on to their offspring
but a long time ago they didnt live long enough to incur such damage so it couldnt be passed on
so no, I dont think cancer it was very common cause of death way way back in the day before industrialization etc etc
Im not sure when smoking became common though...
and Im sure being next to a cooking fire almost 24 hours a day wasnt good for cavemama-san

Mine was discovered in very early stages so I got rid of it with no consequences or chymo. Ten years later.... HERE I AM... :D
mine are like a few sharp pulsating pains but it subsides after a few seconds. i do that breathing thing too and they are totally random. it happens to me on average once or twice a year
I might mention it next time i'm at the gp since i'm due to go soon. Might as well!

You know I wrote almost an identical post. Then I thought, hey wikipedia will know the answer. And it did. So I never posted it.

I'll die eventually. If not from cancer, a freak in-a-tub-of-giant-beer drowning accident will more than likely occur.
