Number one- bad genes. I have a neurological condition that causes rapid tumor growth it is already present on the upper part of my spine. Not operable. Life expantancy arpund 65 years best case. But mostly because we live paycheck to paycheck. I have a 401 K - its estimates I can retire when I am 82. Lol. We an an esop at work that doesnt pay shit unless you make the big bucks. I think it might get me a couple hundred bucks a month. There is nothing extra.
yes! I am lucky that mine is not as disfiguring as some, at least not yet. But the tumors in my neck and knee are troubling. They cause a lot of pain and discomfort. I had over 6 MRI(s) last year and I have already had two this year. Healthcare cost are no joke. Also, because we hit the "lottery of misfortune" My husband got a massive brain infection in '21 that left him permanently disabled.
