You call me old.

No I didn't you young whippersnapper. I'm older than that and a cancer survivor. Without fairly easy treatments, I'd be dead by now. It's only a death sentence if you frig around like you are.

The Bible pegs the average lifespan at 70 years.

Well, here in the present time, where we have modern things like horse and buggy spacecraft, the US lifespan is a lot higher than that.

But I’m also very active.

So am I...what cancer?

I have not been screened, nor do I intend to be....Regarding cancer, just give me some pain medication.

Well, the hospice care isn't free either, and your family might not like hearing you scream as the strongest pain medication is unable to keep you comfortable. Sometimes, the only way out for terminal patients is a legal overdose.

You keep quoting Biblical scripture...I thought suicide was a sin.

—where we have modern things—

Every age is “modern” at the time.

—You keep quoting Biblical scripture...I thought suicide was a sin.—

Where did I mention suicide?

Did you glance at the youtube video I referenced or look up Max on the internet? It will give you insight into my perspective on this.

BTW, there is NO history of cancer in my family. Neither side.

You prepare the way you want and I’ll prepare the way I choose. I acknowledge that life in this human vessel is very temporary. I have no desire to prolong it. As wonderful as this life is, I know there is something better waiting. When I am at my best, I take each day as though it was my last.

All people have the exact same life span. We call it “today”. I will live until I can no longer say it is “today”.
