DarkCloud comments on Young adults with cancer report getting dismissed by doctors

Doctor: Regulations and the environment would have to be really bad for such a young person to get cancer. Let's discount that diagnosis and take a wait and see approach.

Must be pretty frustrating for patients.

And the doctors too, no doubt. Imagine so many patients being a high cancer risk?

I'm a young 60, and have been through cancer. Outlook is good though.

Cancer is not spiking in us middle-aged folks and older folks so it's not so facile an answer as environment and regulations.
