Thats what i thought it said - its horrible to get the surgery when youre young, but at least youre still alive. The risks reduce when youre older, but i did not hear them say they have a lot of statistics for older women. Is it going to turn out like prostate cancer for men - that people die WITH it, but not FROM it? And a lot of other stuff us old folks get. We're not cars - we dont HAVE to get stuff taken out or replaced or whatever. We run just as good on 3 wheels as on 2! I SAY i dont want to be just a statistic - but i do try to keep my engine humming along .
