The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I lost both my sisters to cancer. Not a word of cancer in the family lines until my older sister got it. She said the chemo ruined two of her vertebra and she became incontinent, then later a walker, then wheelchair, to bedridden. My younger sister got breast cancer, operations, therapy, but it slowly spread and finally to her brain. My cancer seems tame compared. HPV positive 16 that they've got a vax for - works better early. Operation and radiation, but I'm good it seems. 74 though - the men in the family die around 78, and are bedridden the last two years. I feel lucky. I just got lucky.
