I’m 35 and I may suddenly have lost the rest of my life
PSA for anyone reading this: Colorectal cancer for younger people seems to be on the rise. They don&#x27;t seem to know why.<p>My father had colon cancer and was not expected to survive it. I think he was 69 when he was finally diagnosed. He had put off seeing a doctor because he thought it was &quot;just old age&quot; and it was quite advanced by the time he was diagnosed. He did survive it and died, iirc, just short of his 89th or 90th birthday.<p>A lot of my relatives have had cancer, some of them more than once. Few of them have died from it. So, I tend to be biased in assuming that it can be conquered, even when the doctors say the odds are long against.<p>I know I have seen quotes on HN about how the odds are long against startups and other things, but how you can work to overcome those odds. I think it is a bit like that.<p>Good luck in your journey. Best wishes on your outcome.
