28. I was a 28-year-old vegan who exercised daily when I got oral cancer

I have never used tobacco, didn't drink, had no risk factors at all. Sometimes things just happen. Genetic destiny? Something in my environment when I was a little kid? Something in my environment then? Luckily I had the insurance to fight it with surgery, radiation, and chemo; but even then it came at a high price (my marriage, my children...) and I do still have a lot of debt from treatment related to it.

Not everything can be prevented by diet and exercise.
