    Sure is lots dropping off at around that age, but not the time to drop off unless you've not done anything to overcome the earlier abuse of your body and mind. When reaching you're 60's, you either take a different direction and approach, or you endure a very slow agony of death. Everyone gets a warning of health problems years before they rear their heads, either by a doctor, loved ones or the voice in your head reminding you of the consequences of your lifestyle.

    Sadly the majority take no notice and continue down their destructive path in fearful denial, until reality taps them on the shoulder and takes over and then it is to late. So sad to lose such wonderful creative talent, but the expression of that talent does come with huge temptations and mental stress. For some reason the most talented creative humans, seem to only be able to reach those creative heights, via mind altering drugs and some just can't get off the merry go round in time.

    You see this in the entertainment industry every day and it doesn't just effect the best, at some time it effects everyone in the industry and seems the price many have to pay to be able to express their talents successfully.

    .
    This is one time i will totally disagree with you mate

    my mother inlaw got a headache one day and 6 weeks later she was dead brain tumor that
    had shown no symptoms ( 51yrs }

    my father passed last yr with cancer no signs showed till it was to late ( 76yrs )

    a great old member from this forum ( gw1 ) felt ill one day only to find out he had cancer
    and passed several months later ( around 40yrs of age )

    and if it was not for a simple fk it just remove it response to a doctor over what had been
    diagnosed as a birth mark my wife would also be dead from cancer. they removed it and
    36hrs later had half her face removed and 4 plastic surgeries later got the all clear
    only for it to return in her arm for which they removed a 2" section almost to the bone
    all the way around her upper arm.

    So no some times your boddy tells you fk all and its just part of life and you die.

    all the above lead healthy lives and did not drink or smoke.
    dont say linux if i wanted it id install it

    Not even going to try to change your thought pattern, denial of their own reality is the most important part of most humans existence and it's a waste of time to try to convince them otherwise with known scientific medical facts. Those leading healthy lives, unless confronted by a genetic or working, living environmental problem don't die of cancer or brain tumours.

    My elder sister died a few months ago from a brain tumour, she said she had no symptoms, yet upon talking to her not long before she died, she had many little things occur she ignored because they seemed to go away quickly. Yet added up, they indicated a bad problem.

    My younger brother killed himself earlier last year at 68, when diagnosed with bowel cancer. he had dismissed the small random symptoms leading to it, until one day he was so sick he went to the quack and had tests. The results were inoperable and terminal, with palliative care the only alternative. So he went home, drunk and smoked himself to death in less than a week, telling no one. He was found by his daughter days later when he failed to turn up to see her. To me that was unbelievable selfish of him to submit his daughter to the horror of finding him.

    The majority of people spend their time trying to counter the effects of their diet and lifestyle, the majority always reject the underlying indicative symptoms that tend to show up randomly, then quickly go away. It's when those symptoms don't go away or really effect their life that they take action, then it is years to late.

    There's a huge difference in what we assume and what is real health wise, when you consider the effects the diets of people have on their daily lives, it's not that hard to see they probably can't differentiate the difference between recent junk food digestive problems and the associated underlying degenerative symptoms.

    Oh what a wonderful thing 20/20 hindsight is.

    Great brother you turned out to be, you knew what was wrong with your elder sister and yet did nothing....

    Maybe you should learn to read, but that's the sort of reply one would expect from the deluded, desperate to attack or find fault because they're afraid of someone with a different outlook on life. Pretty funny really, but a good indication of the psychology behind it.

    Where in my post do I say I knew of her symptoms before she did. I only talked to her a few weeks before her death because we live in different states and lead very different lives, with little contact over the years. When I asked her if she had any prior indications of the problem, she explained to me she should have taken notice of the small mental and physical sporadic events that she dismissed.

    She contacted me because she knew I'd been through a very similar thing at an early age and had made it through. Sadly she had left it to late and was in no condition to attempt a recovery.

    Most people i know smoke and have smoked from childhood, i still have not lost someone to lung cancer. 9not saying its not possible.

    I can however recall many friends with healthy lifestyles passing away, some being lucky and making it through too.

    My sister was always super healthy and exercised (she is in medicine) and was diagnosed with a rare aggressive form of cancer a decade ago, one tumor was the size of a loaf of bread in her stomach region, it spread right through her, eventually after some new chemo drugs and a operation to remove most of her organs so the surgeon could go through each one attending to what the chemo missed, she survived. (missing her reproductive organs and a few feet of intestines)

    Both my wifes best freinds also lived a healthy balanced lifestyle, both dead in their 30's and 40's.

    Certainly made me rethink whats good and bad, sure smoking is not a good thing, but chances are some other cancer might get you first.....

    The sentence for having two wives would be having two mothers-in-law.
