It's true. I never believed that statement either, until I lost a couple of friends to cancer when I was in high school. After that, it seemed like it was neverending. :( I lost my godmother a few years ago to lung cancer, and she'd never smoked a day in her life. She was the closest thing I'd ever had to a grandmother, and I was devastated when she passed away.

And now to lose my dad, it's just so heartbreaking. :( And my mom had uterine cancer last year, but fortunately hers was caught early enough that they could operate and she hasn't had it since.
