I know two people who got colo  ff8  n cancer.  Surprise, both were obese.  They lost some weight from the treatment but once they went into remission they gained it back and then some. But according to them, since they don't smoke it was just bad luck they got cancer and nothing they could have done about it.    When one of them came out that they were diagnosed with it, he spent the entire time berating the smokers in the family saying they're so lucky to still have their health right now and if he could just by chance get cancer then they're "playing with fire." I have never felt less empathy for someone stating that they have cancer.
