Re: I Guess I just had Bad Luck!

Same here: Healthiest life style of all the family and the only one afflicted.

But: If most cancer is just random bad luck: Why are numbers rising? You get answers like: People get older, but to me it seems only a few of the women in treatment for breast cancer are in their dotage.

Rising numbers of cancer in children, who would not have had many cycles of cell reproduction, surely indicate that something does speed up the number of bad mutations.
