Jackie, my darling father had a heart attack at 59 and died 3 weeks later. His father died of a heart attack at 54, so obviously there was major family history there, but the drs. told us that the smoking narrowed his ateries which greatly contributed to the heart attack.

I'm the only one in my immediate family with a cancer diagnosis.

all the best
