" Colon cancer deaths continue to drop across America — except in Mississippi, health officials said Tuesday. "

Good news, I think.

Yes. Good news. Mississippi shows no decline? Hmm, first, it was an issue of interracial marriages and now this. Sucks for those living there :/

I need to feed off good news like this to keep me going. Nothing wrong with having positive outlooks :)

Kind of funny, old news: Marriage Might Boost Colon Cancer Survival

http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20110623/hl_hsn/marriagemightboostcoloncancersurvival

"Married men and women with colon cancer were 14 percent less likely to die than other colon cancer patients, according to U.S. researchers who analyzed 127,753 patient records. "

I've been married for 34 years!

yeah, there are those statistic "finds" again. Of the colon cancer patients I know, One married survived, one single survived and two married have died.
I would totally believe, however, there are many subjective variables plus it depends on what type of cancer one has/had.

It's probably just because of the increased deaths from the ***ushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

IOW, no news. Business as usual.
