Carl died from stage 3 lymphoma at a young age. As he had a family history of lymphoma and ate poorly, he was at higher risk. By the time Carl saw a doctor about his constant fatigue, fever, and tiredness, his lymphoma was already at stage 3. If Carl had been more aware of his cancer risk factors like his diet and family history, he may have found treatment sooner and potentially lived to see his children grow up and pursue his other goals. Being aware of cancer risk factors is important for prevention.
