I'm 55. 20 years ago, it was unusual for just one of my peers to die in a given year; now I lose a couple *every* year. It could be me next (my doctor just informed me that I am cancer free, following excision, radiotherapy and immunotherapy). Anyone who pretends this isn't true is setting themselves and the people around them up for terrible things.
