Using a throwaway. Apologies.

My grandfather died of cancer before he was 75. I don’t know what it was, but the symptoms and his rapid decline were horrific.

My father died of multiple myeloma before he was 75. He was lucky not to suffer chemo, but from diagnosis to death took 14 months.

Now I have started observing the same symptoms which my father had at my age and have started planning ahead. I’m too cowardly to get a checkup.

But I’m not going to waste 90% of my retirement savings on cancer treatment, of all things. Would rather leave it for the next generation.
