I'm 69, 70 in March. I'm still in pretty good shape other than type 2 diabetes, prostate cancer, and basil cell skin cancer that I've had removed a few times. Other than that, I'm great. Hum, writing it out like that doesn't sound too healthy, but my A1c is under 7, my weight is right, and I'm active.

Paul,
Thanks for the response . My PSA is 8.4 really 16.8 considering the doubling effect of Dutasteride which I have been taking for 4 1/2 years for my BPH . Otherwise at very close to 85 I am pretty healthy and fit, excluding of course my Gleason 6 prostate cancer .

I laughed at your response! I am 66 and consider myself very healthy. Then I list out all the things I have had done in the last ten years and it doesn’t sound good - cataract surgery, carpel tunnel surgery, Mohs surgery for Basel cell cancer, prostate cancer, and 1/2 knee replacement! I feel great and feel blessed I live in an era when we have these options to improve/maintain life.
