I have lost some people to cancer and it is a concern of mine. Have you been affected by cancer?
Yes, my uncle was rusain and effected by the chernobyl disaster. He had a hard time trying to have a kid because of the radiation cancer he had to deal with. 
Oh no that is terrible and I am sorry to hear that. A friend of mine has a 15 year old daughter who is fighting throat cancer right now.
I am sorry to hear that. I hope she pulls through. I though only people who smoked and drank a lot were at risk
She had a tumor in her lymph node that spread. Yes that makes me feel guilty if I smoke and drink for sure.
along with not drinking and not smoking so much more people should put on sunscreen to protect them selves from the ultraviolet light exposure. This can help prevent melanoma.
That is a very excellent point I agree. My mother is now 70 years old and she has warned me about the chance of melanoma in the last several years.
I think a lot more people are aware of it but still people continue to use tanning beds. The can be just as dangerous.
Yes my girlfriend goes to tanning bed and I worry about her getting skin damage. I try to get her to use sunscreen at least.

Diligent use of sunscreen can also slow or temporarily prevent the development of wrinkles, moles and sagging skin.
Depending on the mode of action, sunscreens can be classified into physical sunscreens (i.e., those that reflect the sunlight)

In Europe, the IPPNW claims that 10,000 deformities have been observed in newborns because of Chernobyl's radioactive discharge, with 5,000 deaths among newborn children. They also state that several hundreds of thousands of the people who worked on the site after the disaster are now sick because of radiation, and tens of thousands are dead.
Revisiting the issue for the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, the Union of Concerned Scientists described the Forum
