My mum died of cancer in the early seventies.
It was becoming more and more common.
Now ...I know of half a dozen people with cancer of one form or another ...the youngest being a fourteen year old girl.
The oldest ...my brother in law in his sixties ...the others in their thirties and forites.
Cancer seems to be running amok as whoever I talk to tells me they also know of numerous people with it.
Are we now paying for Chernobyl with our health as was predicted by governbment scientists at the time?

Sorry to hear you've known so many people with cancer.
Personally I don't know of many people with it. My friend's mum died of breast cancer aged 32, when we were both 8... Other than that I don't know of anyone else with it.
My great gran apparently had it in her 80s but it isn't what she died of.
I feel very lucky that I've not come across it more.
