I'm in my 84th. year and still going for gold. Yes I have health issues but I deal with them ,take life as it comes and what it throws at me .
I'm still enjoying each day and any challenges that may test my resolution but can still bring a smile to someone's face and have a good laugh. I have lost many friends along the way,some younger than me so I'm feeling blessed to be honest.
As I said to you once before "Life is what you make it,and what you make it is up to you."
Oh for goodness sake .He's as harmless as the day is long. He's never changed in all the years I've known him. This place was a bit of a respite for him.
The good old days have gone when it used to be fun to log in and catch up with some really lovely people.
Of late I have just glanced at the site without logging in to see if there was anything of interest as I've been away from here for nearly 3 years. Sad to say nothing has changed and like you I might just leave them all to it.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed but you have to log in to read blogs,forums or view profiles whereas last week you could look at the site without being a member.
Sad to say that the N.H.S is struggling to support cancer patients due to all the pressures they are under. We used to have the best health care in the World but it's sadly lacking at the moment .
Cancer can strike at any age to be honest John. Hit me when I was 31 and diagnosed with pre cancerous cells which were monitored then needing an op 5 years later.
My bestie died of lung cancer at 52 which went undiagnosed ,and my Dad's cancer went undiagnosed until I complained to the G.P. by then it was too late.
We are all prone to cancer unfortunately but it is basically age related as you have stated.
Almost half of all people who die from cancer are 70 or older. Another 41 percent are between 50 and 69 years old – so that 87% of all cancer victims are older than 50 years.
Sadly childhood cancers are almost always caused by a DNA mutation that is not inherited but happens randomly .
Please refrain from posting defamatory remarks . This is a thread about cancer so show some respect for those that are or have suffered from the disease.
What a disgusting post . Not unexpected though when I saw who had posted it.
Do you honestly think that the Sceptre would be broken in half . It's worth millions .
It's a white staff that is broken called the Wand of Office.The purpose of breaking the wand is to create a symmetry with the three Instruments of State that had been removed from the coffin. It has absolutely nothing to do with any other country but I'll leave you to look up our traditions.
During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.
The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.
His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.
I admire the Family for bringing it out in the open so soon . Apparently his opening up about prostate treatment was to encourage others to get checked which is admirable.
Katherine was released on the 29th. January and at home recovering.Harry flying home alone to see his Father. William will possibly cover any duties his Father will be unable to carry out as will Queen Camilla.
It has just been announced that the King of England has been diagnosed with cancer. He has just been released from Hospital after a prostate operation but does not have prostate cancer. His duties have been cancelled as he will be attending hospital for treatment.
My thoughts are with the family and wishing him well.
RE: Iran- Israel war
Me too but some posters think I'm a hypocrite because I care about everyone not just the chosen few.
