As for the lung lobectomy, I am symptom free. Then again, I don't run marathons but have no problems with any sort of daily activity. As of the end of October, I was NED (no evidence of disease) according to my last CT Scan. Due for another one at the end of April |

I am well aware of death and I’m ready to meet my maker anytime…however, I enjoy life and I dislike pain & suffering. Cancer is nothing but pain and suffering…and sometimes very slow death. |

I've had a lot of sht done the past 15 years with 11 surgeries. Only 1 was life threatening. The rest I look at as preventive maintenance that seems to be paying off.

The best scenario is to live a reasonably healthy life into old age, then go to sleep one night and never wake up. Unfortunately, it usually does not happen that way, although I had a friend who did back in 2016. He was a widower in his early 80s. I do not fear death, but dying slowly in a hospital or nursing home with (or even without) pain is not something I hope for. |

My brother had a heart attack and mentioned “fwiw, it was painless.”
Very few ways to exit that sound appealing but only way we get to choose is something approaching suicide. I absolutely would take that route if things become unbearable but don’t dwell on this stuff. I just want to live long enough to tell Trump supporters and Bitcoin supporters, “I told you so.” |

There's thousands of things that can kill people, it's interesting that people chose to screen for, what, maybe a dozen of those things? What about all the rest? I can see if someone has family history of something, testing for that, of course.

With all the early deaths in my family from several different kinds of cancer (most notably colon, so I am VERY prone to dying of a "horrible ass cancer"), heart problems, diabetes, gout, dementia, etc., I swear, the ONE thing I have never heard of any blood relative of mine having was prostate cancer. So at least I have that going for me!
I still get tested twice per year as part of my regular blood panel. Last test was 0.2, so I'm OK so far. |
