We have to remember, that now we can identify these cancers. Back in the day people died of "failure to thrive", being a "weakling", and many other none descript versions of not feeling well. Sometimes being too fit can trigger cancer. Extreme athleticism can trigger cancer as in some olympic athletes.

​@@joefornasieroAll that muscle building and healthy diet making you think YOU can keep disease at bay. In my language if you break the word cancer in "ca n cer " it means "like in heaven ".

Yes, we see others who "manage" to live long lives, maybe successful ones, but even if they do so for 100 years - which is nothing compared to ETERNITY, unless they are saved by Jesus Christ they will find themselves in that horrible place like the rich man in the New Testament

Chest pains, because I have had 4 heart attacks a long with angina. Back pains from previous injury that has hurt for over 25 yrs, I had a cough not bad really, I smoke off and on for 45 yrs. Got out of breath walking 10 feet, but I had gained a lot of weight in a short period of time. Fatigue some swelling etc.. I happened to have a new primary dr who I had seen only twice. She sent me for CT scan because I had stopped smoking last Oct. If she hadn't sent me who knows how long I would have waited. I start chemo next week with radiation to follow. So thank you for making this video. It's a very numbing thing when you are told you have cancer. God bless you.

My niece had a cancer I believe about as rare as yours: angiosarcoma that started in her liver. It metastasized to her lungs . She had pretty intense abdominal pain as well. ER showed a small mass which they determined to be benign. So, she never got treatment and the gut pain kind of resolved. We thought it was her asthma about 10 months later and shocked to find out her lungs were filled with this rare cancer. Even the first lung biopsy missed it. She was only 23 when she passed.
