Sorry to hear that you're sick, Cassie. In my family it's cancer. I've had it twice, operations both times, been cancer-free 8 yrs. My grandfather had a lung taken out when he was 67, died at 88. My grandmother was supposed to die of pancreatic cancer when she was 86, died at 94.
Don't know what your illness is but here's hoping luck and a strong will to live are pulling for you.
