    Well, I’m one. First health issue I’ve ever had. Honestly, I would have picked a different one if is had a choice.

    I agree re the obesity as a risk factor also. At the conference I was at the other week, obesity was mentioned many times as a contributing factor towards many of the cancers that were being discussed, CC, HCC, pancreatic cancer etc with the biggest single contributing factor towards HCC in Scotland being alcohol abuse.

    I totally agree. That’s why I’m doing all that testing! More knowledge for me and the researchers. I will make all my path reports available to whoever asks.

    Agree, Kris. But the more we know – the better off we are. A large, clinical study is as close as we can get to receiving the best answer available to us. And, that has not yet happened in the obesity connection.

    I agree. But I think obesity makes us more apt to get any cancers.
