Re: Cancer Etiquette: Talking to Someone With Cancer
Kilby; I hope your lack of education means you are a spamer. I am a competive moutain bike racer. I do 24 hour/12 hour mountain bike races. I am in the best shape of my life and still got cancer. I ate right, I breast feed my children, I don't drink alcohol but still got cancer. Yes there are studies that put people at risk if they are over weight but it is not the cause. Please educate yourself better before putting statements out on this venue as you will most certainly get angry responses.
