Ladies. This is Worrying.

congrats margo49 and her mono-tit on 10 years and counting...here's to many many many more C-free years.

Trek, granddaughter of a bc survivor, lost an aunt, cousin, grandfather to cancer and most recently my father to prostate cancer.

I recall my dad musing what might have caused it, he had smoked lightly but quit before or shortly after I was born, I never saw him smoke.

He and my mom had almost an ultimate healthy lifestyle. Our joke was that if they had chickens and a cow they would be self sufficient. Lots of time outdoors and activity, the remaining 3 acres of their orriginal farm they raised everything organic from asparagus to zuchini.

Ultimately I guess you make your best choices from diet, health information based on the info we have and to me it's not about living forever because we don't get out of this alive. It's about quality of life while I'm here, being able to do what I want to do, having the strength to open the peanut butter jar ;-)

In Dads case he was 83 when he died, he lived a good long and very productive life and brought joy and laughter to many. If any of you had met him up to maybe a few months before the end you would not have guessed he was ill, or that he was in his 80s. He was chopping wood and gardening right up to shortly before the end.

That's why I do these healthy things, I enjoy it and want to be able to keep doing it for a long time but one can't anticipate everything.
