I’m only a 14 year old boy but am worried about the chances of loosing my parents to cancer how high are the chances that they will get cancer throughout their lives and the likelihood of it being operable
Hello Ginger.riley, and welcome, that's a question i think we would all like answering, but is also one that is impossible to answer, as we would only be guessing. I know the thought of cancer is worrying, but modern screening and testing are catching more cancers earlier and earlier, making it much easier to treat and todays anti-cancer drugs and treatments are amazing compared to 5 years ago and they are only going to get better and better and with lots of new ways of treating cancer being developed all the time everyone is going to benefit. Riley i have prostate cancer, the average age men get prostate cancer is 66, and for every 100 men who get prostate cancer only 2 will die of it, and things are only going to improve, I know you love your parents and don't want to lose them, but please don't worry about something that may never happen. take care.
