    there's a fungus among us. ( Couldn't resist ) No, seriously, a retired Dr. who was studying cancer that the U till he died, told me cancer is a type of a fungus.

    These days it seems everything we like to eat,drink or do has a cancer risk.


    I still don't have cancer after decades of doing everything I can to get it.


    It is what it is & if you're gunna get it you're gunna get it.


    I don't live my life looking over my shoulder wondering it the big 'C' is following me.


    There are plenty of other killers out there.

    Is it a Taurus?
    jhharlan

    Don’t know for sure yet, I’m still trying to pay off a 12 year old D.W.I…..

    Does DWI mean what I think?
    If it does the TX courts are lenient to drag it out that long.
    jhharlan

    Court nothing, just pay a huge fine which is why I don't drive now....
    jhharlan

    And I wasn't intoxicated.......
    Tommyh

    You don't go to court for DWI???
    jhharlan

    I appeared before a judge during the wee hours, my memory fails me. I did time. Now I have the fine and surcharges.......

    I'm not at all convinced on either side. I don't believe we know what causes (most) cancers, what cures/prevents cancer nor who is putting money into whose pockets. I do know that billions of dollars have been sunk into cancer research and  still, everywhere you turn, someone is raising money for cancer, on a daily basis....from kids selling lemonade to multi-million dollar corporations having marathon runs. You would think it is the only disease known to man. It isn't!

    Some of them AREN'T myths.


    And Vinny,  Kudos to you. I'm a cancer survivor too, as are other people on this forum.

    I still believe that the pharmaceutical companies are controlling 'some diseases', I don't know about cancer but I would think they have a big hand in cold medicines.  That's one of their biggest if not the biggest profit making 'no-cure' they got going.   Also, the medical field in general.  Fortunes are made by doctors and drug companies.


    As a cancer survivor, I hope that someday the big C takes a dive.  There are so many strains though
