Of anal cancer! That sounds terrible. How does one get anal cancer? Is it like colon cancer that spreads, or is it like cervical cancer?

(PS, I'm at work, and Googling "anal cancer symptoms and causes" is not what I should be doing now.)

I have also been curious about this form of cancer.

I looked at the link provided in the original post. There have been quite a few losses due to cancer, mostly lung cancer, in Hollywood.

Isn't cancer considered the "#1 killer," in terms of diseases for the general population?

I could be wrong, but I thought I'd heard somewhere that heart disease is the current #1 killer, with cancer on pace to pass it in the next year or two.

Yep. Me too.

Charlie's Angels is one of the first night time TV shows that I have memories of watching.

So very sad. Amazing how in my 20s that 62 seemed plenty old. Now that I am in my 30s, and my own parents are in their 60s, it seems so shockingly and heartbreakingly young.

Same here.

It is extremely young given the technological and medical advances. People usually don't pass away "this young" from "natural causes."

Heart Disease is the #1 killer of women.....not too sure about men though.
