No One knows. The reason people have been only hearing about it more and more in the recent past is because before then it could not be identified as cancer.
Brain cancer never really 'began'. Cancer is a fact of life, not a contagious disease. Cancer never used to be a problem because people commonly did not live long enough to develop cancer.
people began to discover cancer in... NO ONE KNOWS! cancer was a illness you can never determine when or how a illness started.
Elizabeth Edwards had breast cancer that had spread to other parts of her body.
Terry Fox did not suffer from a disability. He was a cancer survivor who lost his leg to a form of cancer called osteosarcoma. He began his "Marathon of Hope" to raise money for cancer research. During the run, it was discovered that the cancer had spread to his lungs and he was unable to continue.
The pink ribbon idea initially began inside the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which exists to promote awareness of breast cancer. The idea is based on the use of the red ribbon to promote AIDS awareness, and began to be used in 1991.
Sadly there is no easy way to be rid of cancer. Often it requires long rounds of chemo-therapy, sometimes radiation treatments, and quite commonly surgery, but none of these are a guarantee. It will depend on the type of cancer you have and at what stage it was discovered and treatment began.

It is possible. In a small number of cases, terminal cancer has been known to go into remission. I have met one such survivor of breast cancer who was told she had only months to live. She began doing every thing she could possibly find to fight the cancer, including but not limited to medical experimental drugs and treatments, and also some unorthodox eastern medicine treatments such as acupuncture. She also began to alkaline (make acidic) her body, using citric acid from lemons and other fruits. She had a positive outlook and believed she could defeat it, and did. This was ten years ago, and to date there is no trace of cancer left in her body.

I wish I could help you more with this question, but the only honest answer is that nobody can answer this question. Cancer is still a pretty mysterious thing and cancer effects people SO differently. My father had bladder cancer and didn't know it until it nicked a artery and he began peeing blood. I had cervical cancer and didn't even know anything was wrong with me, and others are painful symptoms. Each person is different, every cancer is different, so talk to your doctor and screening for many cancer is simple and a smart idea.
