I am not sure I follow why you would do nothing if you were diagnosed with cancer. You are 61 years old and might very well make into your eighties or even beyond (the actuarial tables have you living another 24 years). Do you realize that you can be successfully treated for many forms of cancer? For example, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and she would most likely be dead today if it wasn't successfully treated. I was also diagnosed with cancer and non-treatment was never an option.

I actually dont worry about these things. Advertising is meant to scare you into worrying excessively, I know. BUT, I know these things could happen.
