Heart disease, cancer, and stroke are among the leading causes of death across the developed world. Occurences may be largely preventable and sometimes reversible, or delay-able to a very advance age, but healthy persons are not risk-free. Treatment is paramount.

Just about everyone has a family member or close friend die before their time. The 2 younger of Charles' 3 sisters succumbed to cancer. In recent years we have visited with friends who died shortly after. Three among family and friends are currently battling cancer, and a dozen others are benefitting from heart care.
