Aneurysm is tough to catch sometimes, when I was at the cardio vascular place, there was a wall with informative posters about this and strokes, symptoms, how imperative time is, can't wait around on something like that, if you suspect theres a problem, my father has one, they monitor it, could be heredity. Any symptoms, you need to deal with it, not sure how they found his, I'll probably need to be checked for these, think my grandmother had one, but she lived til '86 and it was not an issue. There is so much too this, just speculation, I knew someone who had a problem, waited too long and it took his life, mid to early 50's back in '96.
People are so different its hard to say, I've tried to avoid unhealthy food, cholesterol, used to play sports and take part in rigorous activity, according to the doctor, medical people, I don't have any calcification, BP has been perfect since day one so far, yet I'm not a health food fanatic either, I try to do my best. A friends dad, age 44 back in '88 or so, died instantly of a heart attack while on the job, at the nysp barracks next to our place, he was very healthy, career state trooper, just turned investigator, I'm not sure how he lived, he was way too young, he was gone before he hit the concrete face first, not much blood where he collapsed.
Another friend, had his prostate removed a few years ago, he's 4 years younger than I, now his PSA's are up again, he looks fine, its hard to say, we're all different. An inlaw in our family, in his 90's, WWII bomber pilot, still rides horses, always been healthy, lives reasonably healthy too, so its hard to figure if you are the kind of person that tries to live a healthy life, within reason, it works or it does not. I mean I know some that have no regard for diet or exercise, they will pay for that at some point, or you get to an age its hard to excerise due to injuries, parts being worn out, the job and all that, happens to all of us, and we may pay for it, just so many factors to consider. I do believe one needs to pay attention to nutrition, stay active, exercise if you can, ones job can provide some of that, yet there is no guarantee, I do think most can keep a healthy cardio system without a lot of effort, yet some won't put minimal effort into it. My father has paid for some of this with stents and other circulatory/cardio work done, excess weight, diet played a role, he has not lived like that for a long time, his wife is very health minded and also very fit, he followed suit and hes better for it. Interesting to discuss, but am certainly sorry to hear of your losses, its never easy. I have a friend thats an RN and he works in the Oncology floor, over in NH, he stopped over and a few of us had dinner over the weekend, he told us of a young lady, age 23 that succumbed to colon cancer, part of his job is to make their last days/hours as comfortable as medically possible, this young lady, her, or her body would not give up, and he said the most powerful or best pain medication they can administer was not enough, I do not envy his job, takes a special person do help others in terrible need, can't figure why someone so young has cancer, does not seem fair at all.
My neighbor, someone I admire, he's had a tumor on the brain, not sure what they did with him, but hes been ok a long time, problems here and there, he's my dads age, still works part time, and takes care of his place, he's had to take it easy at times, but he says, I'm not going to worry about it, a very humble, polite and appreciative person who has lived a model life in my book, and I like his attitude, just live and not worry, do the best you can, its all you can do really.
