@jwcarroll54 My father had his first bout with cancer in his late sixties and chemotherapy caused his eyes to hemorrhage so he spent the next 20 years of his life essentially blind. He followed that with a heart attack when he was about 70 and myasthenia gravis before he turned 75. He lived to 91, but his last 20 years were awful.

@twday67 thanks for sharing. I’ve had the same experience with my grandparents and parents who lived well into their 90s. Their last 10 years were miserable. Just miserable.
When a doctor asks if I want to live a long time, I say “No”!
