They found that while Orange County's numbers were highest overall for people under 50, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties saw a decrease in rates by .6% while Riverside County remained stable.
Juliette Landgrave, diagnosed with breast cancer at 38 years old, and Brandon Arbini, diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at 41 years old, are the young faces of cancer in Orange County. Arbnini had a foot of his colon removed as well as part of his liver. He had no family history of colon cancer and didn't smoke or drink, but he was one of those under 50 to get the bad news.'Cancer, especially colon cancer, is not a disease of the elderly anymore,' he said.
