More research about cancer, but nothing towards curing it: people who develop cervical or testicular cancer more likely to get divorced than those without the disease. Wow , the double whammy.A meeting of the European Cancer Organization brought a report that showed those particular cancers had up to 40% more divorces than similar men and women without the disease. The researchers didn't have any information on why the couples divorced and could only guess that the breakups could be due to the cancers, but science isn't quite so exact. They just looked at 2.8 million people and comparing the divorce rates of 215,000 cancer survivors and couples with no cancer, examining marriage and divorce registration data between 1974 and 2001.
Two posts about cancer in one day...we've got more good times here than the March of Dimes!
