Carolyn,
At 83 you have lived longer than most people’s life expectancy. Celebrate! The average life expectancy for women is 81+ years according to AI. That’s being said, my uncle’s aunt lived to be 107. She walked 5 miles round trip to church everyday and played cards with her brother who lived to 104. Genetics play a role. Cancer plays a role. My mother had Stage IV ovarian cancer for years and missed her 92 birthday by a few days. Live each day as if it was your last. Rejoice in God your Savior.🙏🏻🕊️✝️

Sixteen years chemotherapy-free and I'm 84. My Dr. and I think I'm CURED. I'm gonna stick around this site and continue to be active, so if it does come back, folks here will be the first to know. I know most victims of this disease would be pretty pleased if someone guaranteed them sixteen more years of living. In the meantime, I'm gonna provide some free sunshine. this too shall pass
