Not to go too far off topic here, but Cancer is a mutation, an invasion of the body by malignant cells from within.
It is only natural in the same way every disease is natural.
From my perspective (and I am not trying to force it on others, it is just my view) depression is more like going into shock, which can be fatal, and can be treated, but is often a natural and normal reaction to circumstances, and not always a sign that something is wrong with the body/mind makeup. Shock can be fatal but is not an illness. Cancer (although internal) definitely means something has gone wrong.
