What's the average age for liver or other organ cancers?

How about leukemia or lymphoma?

I don't wanna google but would I *know* if I had these?

My Grandma had liver cancer.  She was diagnosed at 71 and died at 71.  Her illness lasted 12 weeks.  I can tell you that only 1-2% of all cancers START in the liver.  Of those that start in the liver, 99% of the patients have liver disease (hepatitis, cirrohsis, etc) or are heavy drinkers.  My Grandmother was one of the odd ones out.  She never drank... had no liver disease and the cancer started in her liver. She started getting sick December 2005 and was diagnosed a month later.  There was no denying there was something wrong with her because she couldn't eat without getting very sick.  Other than my Grams, I have never met or heard of anyone in my life who had cancer that started in the liver.

Leukemia- Only 6 out of 100,000 women get this.  The median age for diagnoses is 67.   With these statistics (based on only 6 of 100000 women getting it), you can say there's a 99.995% chance that you DO NOT have it (I actually did the math on this for you).

Lymphoma- There are different types (Hodgkins or Non-Hodgkins). I had a friend get Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma when she was only 15.  She was living with me at the time.  The thing that tipped us off was that she had an enlarged lymph node on her neck... literally the size of a very large egg.  She went through chemo, was treated and is fine now.  She's 29 years old.

Not too sure about other organ cancers... I know brain tumors aren't as common as we think.. not sure about the others.
