[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents in their mid 70s don’t have any health problems I am aware of. My dad is starting to slow down a bit, and we are always watching for signs of Alzheimer’s because that is what happened to his dad in his 70s.

My husband lost his dad to cancer in his 60s. His mom is now in her 70s and is a breast cancer survivor. She has had a couple other odd health scares, but I don’t think that they were long term health issues. She is still working part time and seems to be doing pretty well.

Oddly, I am the spouse with the health issues. Colon cancer at 41. Thyroid condition. Autoimmune disorder. All freak occurrences with no history/genetic component.

You just never know.[/quote]

Did your MIL go through chemo for breast cancer?[/quote]

I honestly can’t remember - it was about 20 years ago. FWIW, it was caught very early and had not metastasized. She may have had radiation treatments? She had a recurrence a few years later and she had a mastectomy to prevent any more. None since then. The type of cancer she had was not particularly aggressive and very easily treated.[/quote]
