I haven't read the whole article, but wtf.

This reads like something out of a Scifi or Horror novel really.

It's not a Pandemic or Epidemic exactly, but a Fucking Plague for a specific demographic, that Joyce happened to be in.

Diet, exercise and some other factors might have prevented it, although she was 50, from what the Oncologists said, she had it when she was 49..likely even late at 48 (Spring of 2024). So, based on the demographics, she would have fallen into that category for another 10+ years.

CANCER SCREENINGS..need to be better and much more easily done. I guess part of it is finding trends besides Pollups in your colon (which could have possibly saved her, but we will never know where the Cancer started, but likely in her GI tract, so it could have been in her Colon, or her stomach, or her Esophagus, or her Pancreas.

They need to find a way to identify early symptoms and preventative measures maybe beyond diet and exercise.
