Hootie for heaven's sake, NOTHING and EVERYTHING causes cancer :o
People who never smoke get lung cancer, while people who smoke 3 packs a day live to be 100.
If you've read all the scary stuff you say you have, then you've read that too, right?
Can I tell you something quite honestly? I have to tell people to stop feeling sorry for me, or getting upset, if they hear I have bladder cancer. There are so many other things that could be worse than the type of cancer I have, and I tell them that. I tell them that if they want to say a prayer for me, I will be forever grateful. But their worrying is unnecessary...
so STOP WORRYING. Life happens, and every day is a surprise - and the people on this forum are here to support you IF you get an awful surprise like a diagnosis of Bladder Cancer. But you don't have it yet, do you? so PLEASE go find out if you do, and then come back to us and give us the good or scary news...then, these people have so much knowledge and advice and coping mechanisms and jokes that you will be forever grateful you found them.
OK?
