Question: colorectal cancer in newfoundland? I did some research and i read that newfoundland has this highest rate of colorectal cancer in north america. Medical websites say it is from mutated DNA genes that are hereditary. Is this the medical way of saying they are humping their brothers and sisters?
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Answer: THAT IS TOO BAD!
Question: Cancer on both sides of the family? My Mom's side: her mom (my grandma) died from Breast Cancer, cousin (my aunt? something like that) had every type of female cancer out there pretty much, dad (my granddad) died from heart complications
My Dad's side: Cancer goes through there every couple of people I don't know the specifics but his dad (my granddad) had Prostate, Thyroid, and some other cancer.
What are the chances of me getting a Cancer?
I know the hereditary cancers are breast, ovarian, prostate, thyroid, and colorectal cancer. and someone on one side of the family has had 4 out of those 5. What are the possibilities of me getting cancer? Can it skip a generation? What should I look out for? Is it a hight possibility (that my parents can get it too)?
Im currently 16 (female) years old and my parents try their best to get only healthy foods into my system. We cook most all our foods and only eat fast food occasionaly. I exercise alot, ie running and weightlifting as an independent (not at school). I'm not exteremly concerned if I get it. If I do get Cancer I would want to donate my body to help find a cure. If this does happen then it happenens. I'm a pretty happy person so I tend to have a light outlook on this situation. I just want to know my facts. SO if there is a doctor out there that is reading this, please let me know the statistics.
Answer: Good golly Miss Molly! You don't need to be Einstein to know the answer to your question and I bet you know it too. The answer is that yes you are at a much higher risk than the average person. BUT that does not mean that you WILL get cancer...it only means that your are at higher risk. So, the real question is...What do you do with that information? The answer is you DON'T smoke, stay away from alcohol, drink purified water, and try to eat organically grown vegetables( those pesky insectasides have been linked to many cancers) also do not store your food in plastic containers and NEVER cook your food in the plastic containers in the microwave. Eat lots of fresh vegitables... try to eat every color of vegitables and fruits in the rainbow every day...you know..orange, red, purple, yellow, green. Be careful what supplemental vitamens you take because some ( like betacaratene) have been linked to possibly causing lung cancer for instance... too bad I did't know that ten years ago. Get plenty of rest and even more exercise. Keep a positive attitude, try to find something good every day to focus on and to give thanks for. Get a physical every 6 months and ALWAYS follow through immediately with any tests that your doctor wants to do. One last thing...ask God to help you and keep you strong. It does work. Good luck.
