If you are getting at what I think you're getting at, I agree. The whole paranoia around what causes cancer is getting crazy. Cancer comes from, above all things, your family history. And cigarettes. Those things fuck you up son.

So, wow... I actually thought Pink Underoo was telling the truth when I read that. That's, really, kinda embarrassing.

O.o
Nuh?
Carcinogens like cigarattes and radiation are far more likely to cause cancer than genetic predisposition.
The main reason we get cancer more often now than we used to is actually remarkably simple. We get older. It gives our cells more time to make cumulative mistakes. Remember, a cancer cell is (in part) just a normal cell that forgot how to die/stop reproducing.

Nah genetics are pretty predominate when it comes to cancer, my family is a depressing example of that both my uncles, and my aunts, and my grandma are chain smokers and have been pretty much all their life 3 decades worth in fact and no problem with cancer.

Welp the facts are stacked against you. Your family just beat the odds. *Shrug*
