Something that has been nagging me.....

[Jimbo]

Along the lines of If it's broken fix it, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you know your body and you see your doctor regularly and you take a few minutes to search out the contributing factors for heart disease and take the appropriate steps if there's some you've fallen victim to, those are things you have quite a bit of control over. If you can do that, then you won't be needing to plan your quick and glorious death at your favorite spot.
I too am a recent cancer survivor and spent over a year in that hell, and I'll tell ya it's no different. You're smart people you fishermen, be aware of yourselves and do not put off seeing a doctor if something's just not right.
