Most cancer types 'just bad luck'

[Jamastiene]

58. Does this mean doctors will quit trying to act like cancer is some moral failing on our parts?

I get sick of so much of it. They swear up and down that many ailments are some moral failing on the part of the patient.

My grandfather died of lung cancer and never smoked a day in his life nor did he live with anyone who smoked. My grandmother died of heart disease and ate nothing but the healthiest foods. Her cholesterol stayed sky high even after going vegetarian and eating only things with 0mg of cholesterol. My mother and I both have the same sky high cholesterol. Depression runs in our family too. Aneurysms are common in my family too.

My cousin died over the holidays from a headache that turned out to be an aneurysm. The doctors gave her fucking Ibuprofen, fussed at her for "triggering" her migraine by doing something "wrong" and unhealthy, and sent her home. She felt overly dizzy and sick on the way home and called the doctor and home. She said she was going back to the doctor to see if he could find out where that was coming from. She was on her way right back to the same doctor who just sent her home with Ibuprofen. On the way, she pulled off onto the side of the road, laid her head on the steering wheel and died. She didn't want to hurt anyone else. So, she pulled off onto the side of the road to die. Very fucking sad to lose a cousin this way, especially after the doctor didn't take her headache seriously enough to bother to follow up and find out before sending her to her death.

My entire family is full of health problems and it is not anything to do with "lifestyle" or diet. I asked my grandmother and my mother why we all had the same ailments if we all ate different diets and lived to varying degrees of healthy "lifestyles." My family is living proof that these ailments are not due to what we eat or how we live. Both my mother and my grandmother told me we shit in our blood. They were right.

I'm sick of doctors claiming physical ailments are always the fault of the patient. Sometimes, we just got shit in our blood and shit for luck. They need to quit making everything into a moral issue, as if our sins are causing diseases. It's fucking ridiculous. Blaming people for getting diseases is like some kind of fucked up religious dogma in our health care system and needs to stop.

Like those of us who live it say, cancer is something you get if you are unlucky as hell. It runs in families and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. You can never smoke and get lung cancer. You can eat only the healthiest zero cholesterol foods and have sky high cholesterol. You can eat only heart healthy foods and get heart disease. You can be as big as the side of a house (that's one thing that does not run in my family, but I know people who starve and are overweight and picked on) and not eat as much as even a child. It is going to turn out that most ailments are in the genes and we've been lambasted by doctors for ages about being so sinful in the way we live, when the truth is, it's shitty luck and shit in our blood (so to speak) that is causing most of this shit.
