She's old enough that her tits sag to her lower back region, so the confusion is understandable.
LTR has been having knee problems lately...

Tailor-made cancer 'vaccine' proves safe: trial results
Two experimental treatments for skin cancer, tailor-made to target a particular patient's tumours, proved safe in small-scale trials, their developers reported Wednesday.
The vaccines also triggered an immune response to tumour cells, they said, although this does not necessarily equate to a cure.

^^^^^^^^^-------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^ From my other post here in this thread.
Somewhere between the fake crap, jokes, and real cancer, hopefully this comment might help ONE member.
We moved back to my old hometown just over one year ago. My wife and I needed a new family doctor.
Toward the end of 2016 my new family doctor sent me to a Urologist. After a blood sample and the dreaded digital test, I was told I had prostate cancer. I knew something was wrong since I couldn't keep an erection and urination was irregular, as in more often. As a trucker I never went often since there was no place to go. Perhaps this triggered the prostate cancer I was told I had.
The "C" word! I have several old friends who have had prostate cancer for years and are doing well. Sure, they'll die. But maybe from something else or as the cancer spreads.
I choose not to go thru with the 45 days of radiation. I'm afraid of pain, didn't think I'd live long enough for cancer to kill me, and a million other excuses.
My wife of many years has short term dementia. Her and our closest friend have had it way over ten years. Both take the same prescriptions. The friend lost her memory, hadn't known her own three boys in years, eventually became a vegetable, unable to even eat without help.
She passed on a few months ago while my wife still does what any old lady can do plus way more sex than women half her age. Sure she can't remember what we did a few hours ago and can not cook a meal anymore. Other than that, she reminds me of appointments, fun old times, and more. Hell she's even on Lit more than me.
Why is she alive and well while our best friend faded and died? Pure virgin coconut oil. One table spoon ever morning and one before bed. I'm not a doctor. Maybe it doesn't work. But I won't let a day go by without making sure she takes her coconut oil.
But this is about cancer. It's about me. And the only reason I took those 45 radiation treatments and tests was to be here to make sure my wife takes her prescriptions and coconut oil!
The radiation treatment takes but minutes five days a week. It's as painful as laying on a table for a C-scan or X-ray. My PSA reading was 14.6 or 14.8 at the beginning.
It's 4.6 or lower now after waiting a month after treatments. It will drop a bit more. I had no idea WTF 4.6 meant. Hit prostate PSA in search. I learned way more after the treatments than during. They don't tell much but they knew when the prostate was large and when it was back to normal size by the X-rays.
Those readings don't really mean much. It''s like BP of 120/80 is only an average. You can have a PSA of 4 and maybe have cancer, maybe not. Anything over PSA 10 to 20 is a red flag. Readings higher means most likely it's already spread beyond the prostate. My 4.6 and dropping is way below the 7+ for my age. Yes those numbers go up with age and have nothing to do with cancer. It's those too high of numbers that red flag the possibilities of prostate cancer.
The digital test is more important. The doctor can feel the prostate to determine if it's small, large, hard, soft, lumpy with cancer cells. I suggest you find a Urologist with small hands. After my first digital test I ended up lucky. Some guys like large things up their ass, not me.
Several rice sized pieces of radioactive gold are implanted among the cancer cells then each treatment are activated by a lazer beam as doctors watch with X-ray type equipment.
Like I wrote, most men die and never know they have prostate cancer. Many die because the did have it and were never tested or took the radiation.
Some have no reason to live, I do. The choice is yours.
Search....prostate PSA.

It may be a little too late for that. I know ann was really sick the past few months as we have a common friend that he's unaware of, anyways, you may have noticed that he was a lot angrier than normal when he was still posting. I guess it's because actual cancer took over his stomach, colon and parts of his brain.Sadly like Alzhiemers, dementia, and most cancers there is no cure for stupidity and hate.

Sadly we may never see him again. My thoughts are with his family if he has any.

It's a sorry state of affairs when some catfisher fakes cancer just to gain sympathy and personal information from others.

Elvis Costello Reveals Cancer Diagnosis, Cancels Tour Dates
While he didn’t name the specific form of cancer, he confirmed that it affects males specifically. “Gentleman [sic], do talk to your friends – you’ll find you are not alone – seek your doctor’s advice if you are in doubt or when it is timely and act as swiftly as you may in these matters. It may save your life. Believe me, it is better than playing roulette.”

When Anthony Rizzo was diagnosed with cancer, Jon Lester threw him a lifeline
The thing that worked best for Lester, he tells Rizzo, was that he never let his treatments stop his life. Sure, there were times he'd feel so nauseated that he wouldn't want to leave the house. Yes, his hair fell out. Sometimes, when Lester felt tired after chemo, he'd let his mind wander to bad places. Were the treatments working? Would he play baseball again? That doubt is natural, he tells Rizzo, but you have to fight past it. When he could, Lester did the things he loved: hung out with his parents and friends, hunted deer and elk, threw a baseball.

It's sad the lengths some folks will go for attention and to score cheap sympathy points.

I took my friend to the city (clusterfuck) yesterday for her cancer referral consult. (It's always good to go to the city every now and then just for a reminder of why I don't live in the fucking city...but anyway.) The doc was nice, knew his stuff, up there on the 16th floor. He basically said what you have is pretty rare and there's not really anything more I can do for you. She seemed to take it okay but it hit her today finally. I take her back in August to see a guy on the 21st floor. I don't expect to hear anything good, but the view should be spectacular.
