@marymargaretsh—Sure, it is like the person who never smoked and gets lung cancer, but statistically speaking, that is very rare, but yes, it does happen. I agree Breast cancer is a different beast, but there are a lot of associations with its occurrence that we can control and having a functioning, healthy immune system is one of them.

@maymore the CDC states anywhere between 10 and 20% of lung cancer patients never smoked and they are now considering it maybe a different type. That's tens of thousands of people a year in the US. Yes a great immune system is the best we can do.
