Lifestyle gets blame for 70% to 90% of all cancers

4. Personally, I think cancer gets a bad rap.

We all gotta die someday, right? At least cancer lets you know he's coming, gives you a chance to get your affairs in order and maybe knock a couple of items off the bucket list. I'll bet the guy who had a massive coronary on his sofa or got hit by a bus wishes he could've tied up a few loose ends.

And before anyone blasts me, yes, I watched cancer take my dad at age 68. Before he passed he spent some quality time with his family, went on a couple of enjoyable vacations, and made sure my mom was as prepared as could possibly be as far as finances, pensions, business affairs, etc. in his absence. Additionally, we were all able to prepare ourselves for dad's impending death. In this respect, cancer is actually merciful.

This being said, cancer striking young people and children in particular is heartbreaking.
