i was born in 54. i lived on a busy state road and swam in a river that was an open sewer in my industrial town. my health has been sketchy for a long time. at 71, i’m totally falling apart.
but worse than that, some of my kids r very sickly.
i dont have the gene for breast cancer, but my mom, 3 of my sisters and a niece have had it. i have 2 kids and multiple nieces w autoimmune disease.
