2B brave act brave: Almost everything you read online outside of mainstream medicine about "stuff causing cancer" is rubbish, written by people pretending to be your friends. If you comply with basic cancer screening, report any masses / symptoms / signs early, and avoid tobacco, you greatly reduce your risk. Life long enough and cancer is inevitable; some cognitive-behavioral Rx may be a help right now.
