The first thing my oncologist said was "I don't want you to think you did anything to deserve or cause this." I said, I don't! Surely I have done things to my body over 70 years that have not been good. But with recent statistics saying 1 in 5, that's right, 1 in 5 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, how many possible variables are there out there that could be causal?!
As you said, we have all probably known someone in "perfect health, who lives so cleanly" and they still get cancer. " But the ONE thing that absolutely convinces me that this disease is a crap shoot, is WHY ON EARTH WOULD INFANTS AND CHILDREN GET CANCER, when they haven't lived long enough to do anything?
