THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN MY POSTS ARE A REFLECTION OF MY STRANGE MIND. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEM AS FACT PROVEN IN A SCIENTIFIC LAB. YET... tehehe
PS My attitude may sound a bit bizarre, but I have known bc survivors who died of something entirely different 30 yrs later. My Aunt Bernice, Saul's mother and a # of others. These stories captivated. They are true. And they are lessons in and of themselves. My cardiologist (I have hi bp and a body that manufactures cholesterol, regardless of diet) told me yrs ago that it was his job to make sure I don't die of heart disease. He pointed to his many files. Every one of my patients has good bp, good #s in every way. I keep on top of them. Every one. And I thought, great. I figure for now Vit H and my oncs and my supplements and my prayers and my family's love have me covered re bc. So, I'm thinking I better watch extra carefully when I cross the street!
I once read that there's a village in Russia where everyone lives to be well over 100. They were formally studying the habits and genetics of this village, for all of us to benefit. One man, 114, died -- because he fell off his roof while repairing it! Isn't that crazy??
My friend Judy (the widow of a ca patient 1,000 yrs ago) is remarried to a widower (of a leukemia patient). They each lived on my block. Together, their families became one -- w/5 kids. She is wise and fun and one of my favorite pp in this world. She has always said that she just hopes when she dies that it isn't a joke, like choking on a chicken sandwich. She says she eats M&Ms all the time, when she's driving, and she often thinks that she doesn't want to die looking down to reach into the bag of candy and be found covered in M&Ms! Pinkie, my *strange* sense of humor calls that really funny!
