60%, while not great is still pretty decent odds.

The doc on CBC was going down the obesity road. Granted, she's not a specialist for this type of cancer, but given that it's so rare, who is? Go figure that Rob is the one in a gazillion (not accurate figures) who gets this. Granted, if there were a direct correlation to lifestyle/weight, you'd think it wouldn't be quite so rare. And like any health issue, taking better care of yourself and losing some weight is never a bad thing.I wouldn't go that far. The doctor said there were no known lifestyle risks correlated with it. But in such a rare cancer, there is likely very limited opportunity to study such correlation. Just because it isn't known doesn't mean there isn't one.
That said, I wouldn't speculate that there are lifestyle risks for it either. I just think that it's clear that we don't know either way.

teehee...... Warmington might learn a little lesson about responsible journalism from this.

do the math if 30% of our population is overweight or obese and this cancer only account for 1% of cancer types.
clearly obesity/lifestyle is not a factor.
Any evidence of Rob saying he had a tumour on appendix?
He rushed down to the ER at Humber River Regional Hospital, where doctors did an ultrasound. Mr. Ford says he was originally told his small intestine was twisted with his large intestine and the kinks would work themselves out, but after 12 hours and no change the doctors took a closer look. They discovered Mr. Ford had a tumour on his appendix, which was infected, and the whole works had to come out right away.Any evidence of Rob saying he had a tumour on appendix?
