I am 64, diagnosed with pan can June 2023.
My aunt had pan can when she was 73-she never drank or smoked, pretty sure she didn't drink any kind of soda. My dad had pan can when he was 80. He was a fertilizer salesman for 30 years and sold Roundup. He was a heavy drinker, but did not smoke. My dad did not drink any kind of soda. He was diagnosed with diabetes before he was diagnosed with pan can. He was probably 50 pounds overweight. He was in the Korean war.
My mom ate the same thing we all as a family ate - she never drank or smoked-never had cancer -she had a heart attack at age 66, and died at 87 from heart failure.
I had genetic testing - nothing was found.
I have 5 brothers and sisters - my mom washed our clothes in the same washing machine she washed my dad's clothes. We grew up without sodas in the house. We ate a lot of red meat. We didn't have candy in the house, except for Christmas and Easter.
I've had a lot of stress in my job the last 6 years - walked up to 2 miles a day at work - have exercised moderately over the years. But was 20 pounds overweight at time of diagnosis. I've eaten a lot more sugar than my parents ever ate-I love sweets.
I drank diet soda in college and after college. Over the last 30 years I have probably had a diet soda or regular soda maybe once a month. I have never drank alcohol or smoked.
I am so far the only one of my siblings with pan can. My older brother had prostate cancer. My older sister died from lymphoma.
