Too many to even mention, sad but true.

Oh of course. Relatives, friends, co-workers...

My cousin, Mark, from Hodgkins Disease, at 16. Lindsey, a freshman in high school, Dennis and Marcella - brother and sister, and many more.

But, I know many who survived, too!

....yes, several 

Yes. My friend from high school. She was 20 when she died. My sister-in-law also died of cancer at 35.

Dreadful disease!

many people but the worst one was my husband died of bladder cancer 18 yrs. ago. What a nightmare for his daughter, his grandchildren, his sisters. ....even for my brother and his wife . They felt bad. My cousin and her husb loved him too. My mom missed him very much. He was helping me take care of her.

Yes; from colon, lung cancer, and leukemia.

My great grandfather died from throat cancer. in 1973. He smoke all of his adult life.  I was very young, but I remember him well. I named my son after him.

My uncle (in-law) died from Melanoma skin cancer (?) when he was 49-years-old. He worked as a roughneck and a tool pusher for many years so he was exposed often to the sun for many years

Yes to many, including my mentor and best friend. 

David’s wife found out she had cancer and died nine days later. Hence my sudden move-in. Both of my parents were cancer survivors (my dad a three timer) but age itself finally wore them out......

Yes too many, friends and family. But over the last few years several  that have survived , each year they find more ways to save people form that terrible disease.
