Hi and thank you for your work. I lost both of my parents to cancer in their 60s. Both were caused by lifestyle. My dad was morbidly obese (bowel) and my mum was a smoker (lung). What percentage of cancers do you think are preventable by improving lifestyle and making changes such as maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking? I am forever hopeful for a cure but at the same time I hope more awareness of prevention will persuade future generations to wear sunscreen etc.
Again, thank you. I hope my children won’t have to go through what I went through.
