Mine wasn't that extreme, but my grandfather was laid low by mesothelioma less than a month after his last day tending his gardens in his mid 80s, and his father in law was doing it until the night before he died, also his mid 80s. My other grandfather took my grandmother out to eat and dance every weekend. He died of spinal cancer in his mid 80s, but she's still around at 104.

- devoutsalsa 6y agoSounds like a good way to go. Having a lifespan that ends soon after a steep decline in healthspan is what I'm shooting for.
