My sister died of cancer at the age of 16. She was turning 17 two months before she died. It was said to have been developed on an early age but the syptomns are not that visible so we never suspected her of having cancer.

Thank you for sharing this. I am so sorry for what happened.
What type of cancer was it? In some cases the symptoms are very visible and in others they are just very hard to identify. At my foundation I have witnessed many cases, and even when I am so close and involved it is hard to imagine the pain the family actually feels. There is still so much to be done. In the developping world the survival rates are what in Europe and the US were in 1950. There are so many lives to save with early detection (when possible) and with better care and monitoring.
My sister had alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
