The heart attack talk always seems to kill the banter too.
Not for me. I hope to God I die of a heart attack, rather than the cancer I'm almost certainly destined for. Not bloody likely though. My heart is in terrified shape and my arteries are too.
Now this is a post that could kill the banter.
Morning, muchachos.
+1 on heart failure vs. cancer
Heart failure........cancer.....stroke. I hate the thought of lingering on as either a vegetable or unable to move/move well...
Yeah, give me the heart attack.
Or a backpack full of dynamite and an airplane.
Problem is, with how good medicine is....there is not much left to die from.
They ain't cured cancer yet
Well, you can't think of it as cancer.....it's cancers, each fairly different.
Cures/survival of a lot of types of cancer are dramatically different/better from just 10 years ago.
Yes, but then there's the case of my mother, who was diagnosed with a kidney tumor in June of 2013 and died of lung cancer 93 days later. Never smoked a cigarette in her life, died of lung cancer.
Well most cancers when they metastasize migrate to other organs, often liver, colon and lungs. If that is the case with your mother the correct cause is still kidney cancer even though it migrated to the lungs.
My SIL had a similar situation with uterine cancer.
