I do agree that quality of life is just as important if not more so. And yet I think I would put up with a lot of suffering for a fairly long time in exchange for a shot at being healthy for a much longer time later on. I'm not sure where those balance out. For a thousand years of youth? I'd definitely put up with the pain of dying of cancer for that (or so I say now).
But that's just a thought experiment. No cryonicist expects to be revived in anything less than fully regenerated (or uploaded) condition. Reanimating into a painful and incurable half-life is unlikely, as you probably could not revive someone to begin with if you didn't have the ability to prevent that.
