Read some scary statistics about increasing cancer rates in under 50s today. Stupidly asked ChatGPT my risk of dying from cancer under age 50 (as currently 35yr old female) and a bit horrified to find it was 1 in 200. Even more so when I asked risk for equivalent aged male and it was 1 in 400.
I have a sister with terminal cancer and 2 young children and have seen other cases of this in other young mothers in my professional circles.
How am I (we, women, anyone) meant to manage the profound anxiety of dying before my baby reaches adulthood?
