    No Knowledge
    Hello....I have not much medical knowledge....although after seeing 87 yrs old with cancer,, one must simply accept that time is not too far away and plan for that. He had a long life full of many, many experiences and that the time is propbably near.

    My Dad past with cancer just about 6 months ago at 80, so I certainly understand the feelings.

    Best wishes.
