Some gross numbers:
In 1910 around 5% of the people would get cancer. In 1930, the number rises to 1:15. When we enter the 1950's, the statistics rise to 1:10. The 70's see the number of people who get cancer in their life rise to 1:5. Currently the number is worse than 1:3.
I agree Odin, no doubt some of our burden of disease is due to poor lifestyle choices. Especially for chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes - a lot of cases are avoidable.
There is some context missing from the cancer stats - years ago, most people didn’t live long enough to die from cancer, and that’s a big reason for the increase over time. In 1910 for example, the average life expectancy was only 48 years old. As a species, us humans have done well to prolong our existence but we still haven’t figured out how to handle the Big C
Squeaky wheel gets attention
lots of good folk get ignored for being polite and patient . Mum was treated for bowel infections caused by this and that supposed diagnoses. In the end I said you need to stop being so polite to these darn horse doctors and demand to see a specialist, I asked her if she was seeing Dr ghastly ( my nickname for a hometown Dr I have little faith in) Eek indeed she was, her dad had bowel cancer and did his dad and in turn his Grandmother. Anyways week later she had to go back, said quack was away so she saw an inturn who knew straight away she was misdiagnosed, specialist a few days later and yeah she had had bowel cancer for over a year while they dicked around. Luckily even though it was by then large it hadn't spread and they seemed to have got it all .

Still no treatment. Thats 5 months with active cancer and no treatment due to some bureaucratic BS.
That's brutal, immoral.
Make some noise somehow. 5min or 5 days can make a big difference in treatment and recovery.
Cheers Man.
(I'm not the praying type so won't make a hypocritical statement) but my thoughts and best wishes are with you.

All good advice on Cancer treatment options state… get a 2nd opinion.. Dr’s who suggest treatment options shouldn’t be surprised if you go for a 2nd opinion. It is advised in pamphlets and online help.

Hey Cob
Was thinking of you earlier today. Tough news. I was hoping for better results as I'm sure you were too.
Stay strong buddy and fight with all you've got.
Oms
Hang in there, Cob. Lotsa thoughts and positive vibes pointed your way. As a long time Feat fan I felt this a best tune to affirm the resolve in you for the next leg in your journey.
“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.”
Merry Christmas, Cob. Hope you're spirits are good and that the doctors are getting their collective acts together. (and that you have some nice stuff in the bottle)
So sorry to hear the news cob, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Maybe you can share time through FaceTime, not as good as being with the ones you love but maybe a solution to being totally alone.
I sent this to Cob and as I promised myself I'm sharing it with you. As with everything here on HD doing your own research is a given.
The substance is “Fenben” (Fenbendazole) There is a moderate size of testimonials now on line (and growing almost daily) written by people who have had amazing results using Fenben for all different types of cancer. The dose is small, depending on the person and their circumstances:- between 1 to 3 capsules with 222mg in each, taken once to three times a day for three to seven days a week, for only 10 or 12 weeks...and it's cheap...60 cents a cap. or thereabouts. I personally only found out about this a couple of weeks ago and it's taken this long for my anger to subside. It was discovered 20 years ago that this cured cancer and the press and the medical industry have just sat on it. I understand that this is a 7 billion dollar a year industry but I've lost a lot of family and friends to this disease in the last 20 years and yes I'm pissed. I'm not going to be selfish with this knowledge so I will also post this onto the general HD forum. My biggest fear is that when this becomes known by most of the population that one of the Alphabet soup agencies acting for big pharma will make this so costly we won't be able to afford it or end it in the market place for good. Do your own research, there is quite a bit to be found on "substack" You'll find Fenben - low cost - on ebay...Kiwi Bruce.
