Both mom and dad of my first girlfriend died of cancer, and so did she. We were not together for two decades at that point, so I only found out about that a couple years later, and only because she was a very special person - her close friends dedicated a whole article to her in local newspaper. So young! Well... relatively speaking. And I'm still around. Now I;m suspecting my mom might have worried about my thyroid so much not only because of Chernobyl (we live in Eastern Europe), but also because some auto-immune issues run in our family - for my mom it's enough to take additional vitamin D for her thyroid, but in my case MS has already crippled me and I got difficulties walking. On the upside - MS noticeably lessens chances to get Alzheimer's, so I may become paralyzed, but likely I will not be senile.
