Is getting cancer a predetermined Karma?
Getting cancer can be called predetermined Karma, though the opposite is possible also. For example, if there are certain things that will cause cancer, then I will try to avoid those causes and possibly prevent the cancer itself. From this perspective, getting cancer may not be predetermined, but it is the consequence caused by certain factors. However, if someone behaves improperly without knowing the law of Karma, he may committee certain crimes, and getting cancer as part of the consequence. Ever worse, the cancer may be so fatal that will take his life away. Then such Karma becomes predetermined, and cannot be altered easily.
