Got a well meaning message from my DIL about a friend who's father has cancer attributed to cigar smoking with an article attached addressing cancer risk of smoking cigars.
I wrote her back saying that I'm 50 pounds overweight and no longer exercise regularly, do not eat close to my daily recommended fruit and vegetables, don't floss daily (or weekly), and am at greater risk of early death as a single male living alone, all of which will probably do me in first. Alcohol consumption also is known to increase the risk of various cancers.
Went on to say that I'm 60, falling apart due to all those years of sports and exercise and had to deal with cancer twice. I'm going to enjoy the time I have left.
Hope she'll talk to me again.
