No, I don’t agree with what you wrote. If you wish to just harass me go ahead, I will not respond further. Of course I have no direct evidence of my belief that long periods of high mileage increased my risk of cancer, however their is research that points that direction.
If you would like to educate yourself, here is a previous discussion on LRC and some interesting discussion and supporting links:

I’m not harassing you. I’m honestly trying to learn about this. Why would you interpret a discussion about this topic as harassment?
I read that thread and noticed that you believed your lymphoma was a random occurrence. I guess you changed your mind. Also it was pointed out that Ken’s links were essentially guess work from which no conclusions should be drawn. Meanwhile studies were presented demonstrating a solid link between aerobic exercise and a reduced likelihood of cancer.
I think you’re grasping at straws by trying to link mileage with lymphoma. The chances are much higher that yours was contracted due to exposure to pathogens like Round Up or similar. Good luck with your treatments.
