It’s as if Everything Causes Cancer

It seems nearly everyday we hear of something else that can cause cancer.
It seems like we’re running out of options for avoiding it.
Even the sun can be a source of it. And by the way, beware of the sun as you grow older. Better to take D3 and limit your sun exposure.
Kind of like the saying an idle mind is the Devil’s playground, older skin is the sun’s cancerous playground.

And did you know men are prone to getting skin cancer on their ears?
It’s because men don’t usually wear their hair long enough to cover their ears and protect them from the sun.

I constantly read in the news of more and more young people getting cancer.
Many of them appear to be doing all the right things to prevent getting it.
Sometimes it is as if cancer is close to winning in eventually killing all of us.

The good news is newer and better treatments keep being developed.
But it wouldn’t surprise me if one day I read the air we breathe is found to cause cancer,
and more and more it seems like it’s in everything.
