Hmm. I used to drink 20 cups of coffee a day from my early 20's till my late 30's. And I had hormone treatment to stop my growth at age 14 - 16. My cancer showed up at 44. That would be the 30 year timespan. Interesting. Thank you for posting.

I have been thinking that there could be a link to that hormone treatment. And perhaps I was more susceptible to it genetically. My father had prostate cancer.
