Awhile back I was standing outside talking with our neighbor. She mentioned that she had always been so careful with her diet, so why did she get cancer? I felt bad that I didn't have a good response.
This article was quite interesting to me on that subject: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-23/sometimes-cancer-is-just-bad-luck

And so go for a good diet, but don't feel guilty about this stuff or imagine you are 100% protected:The researchers estimated that 66 percent of the mutations that drive cancer are from random replication errors over time; 29 percent are driven by environmental factors; and 5 percent are hereditary. Vogelstein said he expects that 66 percent figure to increase. “As people age,” he said, “their cells will divide more, and a greater fraction of the mutations will turn out to be random replication factors.”
“One of the practical ramifications of this research is that we hope it will avoid people feeling guilty about their cancers,” Vogelstein said. “Those who have done what they should—all the preventative measures—and still get it, they need to understand that these cancers would have occurred, no matter what they did.”
