Mine had a heart attack recently. She is in her 60s. Although I am not happy about it and I want her to start healthy, I can't say I worry about her as I don't think of my t on a regular basis.

As about cancer my mom just recovered from stage 3 cancer. Certainly we worried if she gonna make it. Both me and my brother know we might get it too but there is nothing we can do. He has a very horrible ulcerate colitis and does biopsy all the time. We might all get it and my moms cancer might come back. But we can also die in a car accident. We just live our lives. My mom is out and about, not moping around. And she actually had cancer and almost a year of chemo.

I would stop worrying if you can and try to get something positive that could take your mind off stressful things that you can't even change

I worry about my t s health all of the time. It's a distraction from worrying about my own.
Sometimes she will sneeze and I kick into my fixer role, I drag out the tissues and ask her if she is coming down with something or sick and she says no mona it's only a bloody sneeze so you can relax.
I do worry about her cankles, they are on display more now for the summer and I have been googling them obsessively to try and find out of there is any underlying issues. She is on holiday and her flight is very long so I was worried about deep vein thrombosis.

Even if I don't like my T, I feel sad when I think he is about 60-65 years old and he probably will be dead in 15 years, or he could die next week by a heart attack.

It's not your fault but what you wrote depressed me. Many people live well into their 80s and lead productive lives. According to you, I will be dead in 15 years. I sure hope not! I hope your T won't either.

Which celebrities? I know about Patty Duke, but who else? I probably should worry about my own mortality, not my Ts. When you're young, 60s seem old, but when you're there, it's 80s that seem old! The years pass by quicker than you think. I hope your parents and your T have many more years.

I am sorry.

My godparents died when they were really young (at 35 and 40) so I tend to be afraid people who are older than me will be die soon (I am 19....). -My parents were abusive so I only had my godparents, I was 7 or 8 when they died-.

Actually, when I was a child I thoguth people don't live more than 40 years...

I don't know many things about my T, whom I've seen on and off for a long time.
Thanks for this!
