    The advances in cancer research and treatment in the last 40 years is crazy too.

    In grade six (80s) I lost one of my cohorts to leukemia. It was a long road for her to her passing, with the stereotypical no hair and sick every day looking worse and worse.

    My neighbor’s grade 6 kid has a friend with leukemia and now they’re “just” sick “every once in a while” because they had chemo the previous day and they’re supposed to avoid sports, but is expected to be fine before they go to high school. Wild.
