I'm now 66 and if come down with a somewhat mild form of cancer that can be treated fairly easily, I'd give it a shot to see how things turn out.
However, if I head to the Dr. and am told I have Stage 4 cancer, then no treatments for me so I can live what little time I have left not being sick as hell from chemo and radiation.
A family friend of ours has been battling cancer hard for the past 10 years and his life has been pretty much crap for most of it with the treatments he's been receiving. His good days are far outnumbered by the bad ones, and that is not a life I'd want to live. He get diagnosed, gets treatments, things get better for a while and it pops up somewhere else---rinse and repeat.

I have a family member who was told they have a slow growing cancer at 70. He is passing on treatment for good years over treatment sickness

Depends on what I have. Colon cancer and many others can be survivable. Brain or lung cancer, then I'll go on a tour of the world before morphine and sleep.

I had it in my early 20s. Went through treatment and I'm good. Treatment wasn't bad. I wasn't laid up, I never got sick, but I swore I wouldn't do it again. 20 years later with a wife and 2 kids, I would go through it again for them unless I had stage 4. Then I would buy weed by the lb and Cheech and Chong all day.

Seeing the losses of freedom in the greatest nation to ever exist over the course of my lifetime...I'll take the pain meds and get the heck outta here.
You folks can keep screwing up what was a great thing and then live in the ashes. Mankind existed for eons without being forced at the point of gun to wear helmets and kneepads and safety belts and alarm systems just to go outside.
