Has anyone you've known died from a brain tumor or has a brain tumor now?

A recent study of Egyptian mummies found cancer to be rare.
The conclusion is that cancer is a modern environmentally caused disease.

If hot peppers cure cancer than people who eat them all their life should have much lower rates of cancer.

Is there any proof of that?

My mother's father who served in the navy developed brain tumours, name of the cancer is unknown to me but he was in his late 50's.

Brain cancer is the very last thing anybody would have guessed he would die from....... He drank alcohol by the gallons everyday and was a mean sum bitch to everyone but his family. We all thought he would die from maybe liver failure and perhaps from smoking filterless Camel cigs since his teens.

A man my mom was dating called her a bitch in front of her dad (same person as above) and he took shotgun and blew this aholes brains out!!!!
My grandfather went to prison at Brushy Mountain in Tennessee for 10 years during the late 1960s to mid 1970s.

He died in mid-90s and it was very quickly.
That's his story.

Others:
Mom died from colon cancer age 48, may have had a genetic condition that causes a person to develop thousands of tumours in colon. Her cancer dr's wanted to do genetic testing of me and my brother and 2 sisters but mom died before they could even schedule it.She passed March 31st 2004

Full blooded Sister age 37 now 39 had colonoscopy and had 2 cancerous polyps removed.....This was about 3 years ago.

Half-sister, same mother age 15 developed 3rd stage non-hodgekin;s lymphoma but she fully recovered and is now 28. She had this from late 2002 to almost the end of 2004.

Many others on my mom;s side of family died from cancer at early ages.

We all live 10-25 miles from Oak Ridge, Tennessee.....

Highest cancer rates in the nation. Guess why ?

I am 42 male with Crohn's Disease and Schizo-Affective disorder and a few other things.

hemp oil kills tumor cells in the brain,

My sister currently has a golf ball size tumor - she is currently awaiting surgery - has to wait up to 3 months. My Dad is dying of prostate cancer with seconds in the liver. Btw my Dad is 87 - his father died of prostate cancer , so my Dad had his prostate removed in his sixties -- the prostrate grew back

I had a dear friend from high school and college recently pass about two months ago at the age of 38. She had a brain tumor (unsure of what kind) for about two and a half years and fought hard to beat it. I believe she approached the battle with radiation and chemo. However there was a blessing...she and her husband had a beautiful baby boy about a year and a half ago whilst she battled the tumor. She was an energetic and positive soul, of the light you might say. The family is doing very well and prepared and embraced her passing about as good as anyone can do.

I often think about her husband, children and family. She will be missed. RIP old friend.

How old were/are they? How long ago was it?

Anything else you want to add would be welcome as well.

The list here and the ages might be shocking.
