55, cancer of the thyroid and parathyroid and lymphoma

When you marry a farmer you know there are going to be good and bad times - drought, mouse plagues, grasshopper plagues. I've been through all those and they make you a stronger person, able to handle anything, even cancer. People talk about grey hair and wrinkles and whinge about getting old. Who cares about age? That doesn't worry me - it's nice to grow old.
