This is a good thing, right?
I mean, cancer is a shitty thing to have or have happen to someone you love, but everyone has to die of something eventually. My take is that people are avoiding heart disease and therefore surviving long enough to give cancer the chance to claim first place. Cancer is shitty, but longer lives isn’t.
Edit to add: overall life expectancy in the US has risen by 10 years since 1960. That’s great.
