In my worrying, I know I won't have time for cancer to kill me, it will be MI. I always had the number 55 since being diagnosed at 14 as my age at death. 3 years left come August.
MK, I'm thinking of just doing the SWF at this point. Don't want to go out like Elvis!

Have you ever had a stress test and ejection fraction test done just for peace of mind since you are worried about MI?
My dad has had two heart attacks, open heart surgery with 4 by-passes, about 6 stents, and surprisingly his ejection fraction is actually pretty good.
What it proves is that diabetes attacks the vascular system and if you can stave that off and keep the muscle healthy...you stand a lot better chance of surviving an event.
