Cancer

[Darran]

Is it getting more common?
We all hear someone say “it’s all you hear about” but it is.
There’s 26 bungalows in our private estate and there’s cancer in 8 of them.
What the fuck is going on?

People live longer. In the olden days you’d probably be dead before getting diagnosed.

I take your point but there’s a lot of young ish people being diagnosed.

Yes, I was generalising a bit. I do think though the longer you live the more likely you are to get it, so if we all live to 150 years old we might all get it.

Better screening, testing etc will be (positive) factors in increased diagnoses. Goes without saying but if you’ve got it it’s better to know you’ve got it and know early.

1 in 3 is the chance now isn't it? Ultra Processed Food and sun damage will have increased the risk, and continue to. My friend just had a mole removed and it turned out cancerous. She's clear, but when I think of my exposure to the sun when I was younger, including burning, it's a bit sobering.

Without reaching for my tinfoil hat, I wouldn't be surprised if screen exposure and mobile phone obsession will also have some kind of serious detrimental impact over time.

Twitter also mimics a brain tumour by fucking up people's brains and ability to critically evaluate, so we should probably start including everyone regularly on that shitfest as pretty ill.

And as I was posting this it went down to 7.

During Covid, there were an abnormally high number of people dying with heart issues, all since the vaccine.. cancer is a dormant gene and once it's triggered causes cancer.. my grandmother has been smoking for 71 years, eats all the processed sh*te going since forever, but there's one thing she doesn't do and that's drink alcohol, she's been teetotal all her life, she survives now by smoking and drinking tea.. plus if you want to go all David Icke, electrical waves in the atmosphere have probably triggered a few cases

Not agreeing or disagreeing with any of that but I've wondered why if smoking causes cancer then why doesn’t everyone who smokes get cancer? Obviously it can be a trigger or contributor but it can’t be that one single thing.

My other grandmother died from cancer, she was teetotal and a non-smoker and ate properly, she was only 63

There's a theory out there, smokers survive because damaging your body triggers your immune system so much that it becomes stronger.. whilst people who don't damage their body have a weak immune system because their body simply can't cope

That explains why Oldjack is 114 then.

Where has Alan gone? Used to see him either down the railway or spewing up at away grounds.. being 114, i suspect he's slowed down

Also being overweight and and family history contributes.
