Chris Burton was planning his wedding when he noticed he was bleeding after going to the bathroom.
He thought it was strange, but figured it was a one-off. Six weeks later, it happened again.
His GP referred him for a colonoscopy, and Mr Burton arranged to have the procedure after he and his wife returned from their short honeymoon.
The 39-year-old had advanced bowel cancer. The test results stunned him.
"That's probably similar to a lot of young people. Cancer's not at the forefront of what you think might be wrong with you," he says.
Australians aged in their 30s and 40s are experiencing unprecedented and in some cases world-leading rates of at least 10 different types of cancer — and scientists are desperate to understand why.
It's a question Mr Burton has struggled with since his diagnosis and one that's arrived at what should be a joyous time — the couple's about to have a baby, a little sister for their older daughter Isobel.
"That's the 3am thoughts that go through your head … have you done something to deserve it?" Mr Burton says.
The technical term for this phenomenon is early onset cancer and it is rising steeply.
Data provided to Four Corners by Cancer Australia, the federal government's cancer agency, paints a concerning picture for young people.
Between 2000 and 2024 — in 30 to 39-year-olds — early onset prostate cancer increased by 500 per cent, pancreatic cancer by 200 per cent, liver cancer by 150 per cent, uterine cancer by 138 per cent and kidney cancer by 85 per cent.
Some increases, such as prostate cancer, might be explained by changes in the way they are diagnosed — but most cannot.
"There are approximately 10 [cancers] that have this increase to varying percentages," says Cancer Australia's chief executive, Dorothy Keefe.
"Cancer has traditionally been a disease of aging, and bowel cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, they all increase with age.
Australia isn't the only country seeing higher rates of cancer in young people either. Large amounts of data from US cancer registries show an even more pronounced trend.
Philip Rosenberg, a leading cancer bio-statistician who recently retired from the US National Cancer Institute, says there is a clear difference when comparing cancer rates between generation X and baby boomers.
"There were really very notable differences, for colon, rectum, thyroid, and pancreas, and as well prostate for men and ER (oestrogen receptor) positive breast cancer for women," Dr Rosenberg says.
...
"In the youngest group of people that developed early onset colorectal cancer, we're seeing a much higher proportion that have a particular type of DNA damage pattern," he says.
That generational difference is so pronounced, he says he can tell whether a person is young or old from their tumour's DNA.
He says it suggests that there are factors or "exposures" that are contributing to an earlier diagnosis age for a group of colorectal cancers.

Instead, most experts believe toxins or toxic influences in the world around us are interacting with genes to cause malignant changes.
In other words, you might unknowingly carry a gene that's only altered when you're exposed to a particular chemical, whereas someone else who doesn't have that version of the gene would be unaffected.
"Cancer is not a single disease, it is many different diseases," explains associate professor Gianluca Severi, a senior cancer epidemiologist based at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris.
"Within a disease that is called breast cancer, there are actually many diseases, but we know that there are different subtypes of breast cancer.

Oh boy, a third (fourth if you count neoforge by technicality of it having some exclusive mods) competing standard that causes new issues and leads to a lot of problems within the already fractured to hell modding scene? What a wonderful gift to the world. I'm sure it'll go over well for everyone.
This comic never loses its use. I can't even make a joking remark about something dumb and basic being treated to this because every single thing in existence has been subject to it by now. Don't know whether to laugh at that or find it depressing.
Fuck I forgot Quilt being a fork of sorts of fabric and Neoforge on some versions dropped all forge support. Never mind what I said a new modloader would bring it up to five.

"i may not be the one to really do this since im not Knowledged and cant provide sources but people need a #reminder that #blur #filters over faces is an #outdated means of #hiding #identities. basically, what's done #algorithmically (the #blurring) can be #reversed algorithmically. just use plain black ovals or squares. and not with some marker #tool or anything with #transparancy, which can be undone by messing with levels and shit. just plain, pure #black."

Capcom games always had very good soundtracks, which you can tell were made by talented people who wanted to make more than just cookie cutter video game background music. They are catchy and you remember them years after you played the games. It's really sad that this company has been completely corrupted by western parasites and also by their own greed.

What's the solution to the immigration crisis? Digital identity, of course! The solution searched for a problem, and since it couldn't find one, one was created for it, or at least, to be shared among various "solutions." This refers to Australia, but can (and eventually) will apply to the western world.
@DrFell Last time I went to Australia their regulations on immigration for just a simple work passport was quite heavy. Plus it's not like it's connected to another continent by land like the USA or Europe.

we need to have a violent revolution in the usa if there's any change to come. the communists think they'll be able to do that but that's just so laughably out of touch to think that.

green is definitely my favorite color and a huge part of it is it being assigned as my color when I was a kid by my parents (another sister was blue, another red) but its also just genuinely a really beautiful and relaxing color.
so what is the point where you go from being able to jump into a body of water w/o hurting yourself and where you break bones just by hitting the water? I’ve been told jumping from great heights into the water is like hitting concrete.
A dead man switch is easier to pull off today than ever before. Why has no one ever use one? Are there any examples?
The thing that brings this to mind is Alan Dershowitz being absolutely 100% confident he knows names and details of clients from the Epstein list. But he won't say because he has an order from a Judge. He's 86. If this man doesn't dump every name upon his death bed I'm going to be really pissed.
sorta what I was thinking. In fact, I’d go one further. Being that he is 86, what TF does he have to lose by spilling it now? Some judge ordered him to stay quiet. Big deal. Because we know how well those orders work on other things. He ought to just come clean.
Word on the street is that the Land Trust which was concerned about The Dollar General situation, heard about our efforts to repopulate the fields with Bobwhite Quail, as well as our wildlife friendly preservation of a major Whitetail Deer trail and our conservation minded tree planting of American Chestnut and American Elm and that moved the vote to acquire the property.
Sometimes doing the right thing pays off in the end.
The Dollar General that was in the works for going up next to my orchard-homestead is no longer in play.
Instead the local Land Trust is buying the fields beside and out behind my orchard-homestead and those fields are going to remain undeveloped as a nature preserve.
Furthermore on the other side of my orchard-homestead, the neighbor who sold the above property to the Land Trust, has secured a tax easement from the state for a good portion of his remaining property to remain undeveloped.
Now my neighbor and I are completely surrounded by nature preserves.
I cant see my neighbor, but I can sometimes hear a loud noise from over that way. There are thick woods between us in a low area that is often water logged.
