I said in my post that I have not been screened, nor do I intend to be. It will not cost $100,000 because to be charged for a treatment you have to actually get the treatment.

How much did it cost people who got cancer in 1700?

You call me old. The Bible pegs the average lifespan at 70 years. I’m not young. But I’m also very active. I just stopped doing the annual one day Seattle to Portland bike ride because I have the heart fibrillation thing. Last time I did it I hit a wall like bonking but it took many hours to recover. I keep myself to rides under 50 miles now, just in case.

It is also why the one thing I do concern myself with is stroke.

Regarding cancer, just give me some pain medication.

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.
