because it makes the most money for doctors and hospitals

It actually is. Because of the various strains, types and mutations, some cancers can only be managed, not cured. And some you will just die from regardless of treatment.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

parasites and microbes cause the "mutations". it's not as complicated as they lead us to believe.

They are not parasites, but can mimic parasitic behavior by stealing cell nutrients. They are mutated host cells.

so they can get more funding.
many cancers aren't all that similar
and many are just parasitic infections

Because of the high prevalence over other diseases, the number of types and strains which can affect basically any part of your body, and how it can metastasize and shift to other parts of you body. It’s a very cruel disease.

I hope this necro bump isn't because you have cancer.

Because cancer is more common than any of the other illnesses that you mentioned. No age group is safe from cancer either.

Motor Neurone disease is one of the worst. I know because a friend died of it.
However, when we hear the word 'cancer', we get a knee-jerk reaction.

True we all die anyways. Honestly, your words have inspired me to just kill myself. Time to end it all. Cancer will never have me.

Sure, some diseases are scarier than cancer, but that is if you have them. To a healthy individual, cancer is what you fear most. It's always lurking, always waiting. Much more common. Shit, you probably got cancer right now. Peace be with you, my brother.

Yes, cancer is more prevalent and can get anyone at any age, but I would rather battle cancer than a disease that I know will eventually kill me regardless of what I do. Fuck dat sheit, mayne.
Also, I think Alzheimer’s is the most likely to be passed down through genetics. I knew a whole family that got the disease, the youngest being 54
I will probably get AIDS, being a bottom.

Because we're selfish basically. I'm not going to get MS or Parkinson's since they are genetic disorders. Maybe I'll get Alzheimers, but I'll be super old then, so it's almost like a badge of honor. I don't think I'll get AIDS since I mainly top. With cancer, anyone can get it at any age. It kills kids, mayne. Fuck cancer.
