[quote=Anonymous]For me, 50 was good. In that I was just ecstatic to wake up and be 50. Shortly after my 49th birthdays I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. I was told not to look at statistics, because everyone is different. That summer, while dealing with the cancer (literally, while waiting for an infusion at the hospital), I started having severe chest pains. Grabbed my chest, and asked for help, then passed out. The infusion center was in the hospital. I woke up about 18 minutes later, in a Cath lab. They had cleared a blockage and reset my heart. Had I been at home, I would not have survived. 4 months later was my 50th....I had a party planned where I was going to take 30 or so friends to a restaurant. But that morning, the cold rain became wintery mix. My sister, who and father, who traveled from the west coast, came to my house, but the party was canceled. I did not care. I was just happy to be alive. Birthdays are what you make of it..[/quote]
