Re: Does cancer treatment age you?

I took a health assessment from my husband's health insurance company. Even with my exercising, eating right, no smoking, and hardly ever drinking I came out as 7 years older than my 59 years. Boy was I pissed off about that. I retook the test and dropped the part about having cancer and treatment and the program said I have the body of someone 8 years younger.

My conclusion is that you're only as old as you feel and right now I feel great (tho tomorrow morning after a class at the gym I may feel 90!)
