Well, my childhood was OK, got the usual childhood ailments, chicken pox, mumps, measles etc. then as an adult things started going wrong. I got asthma aged about 17/18 - although at the time it was called bronchitis so I lived with it until I was in my 40s when I got a proper diagnosis and have used inhalers ever since. On the other hand my 2 x g.grandfather died of asthma, in his 60s, he was a poulterer so whether the dust of chicken etc. got to him I don't know. My 3 x g.gran also died of asthma, but it was combined with senile decay!
Would I have survived gallstones? My gran had them sometime in the 1920s and had an operation, as did my mum in the 1940s and two cousins in the 1950s before me in the 1980s. Other ancestors in the early 1900s didn't survive them as they caused other problems leading to their deaths.
Would I have survived a large, fortunately, benign tumour in my uterus which grew so quickly that after about 8 weeks it was the size of a melon and stopped me eating properly, without an op I wouldn't have been able to eat.
Would I have survived bowel cancer if I hadn't had repeated colonoscopies which removed the pre-cancerous growths before they became cancerous - I doubt it in the 1800s/early to mid 1900s. My uncle didn't survive it and he died in 1975, but then nor did my cousin who died in 2012 but my dad did who didn't get it until he was in his 80s and had a major op but was out of hospital within 5 days, fit as a fiddle.
I haven't had TB like my maternal grandfather and a maternal aunt died from in the 1920s, I haven't had uterine cancer like my one of my paternal g.grans died from in 1901.
Where I have got lucky, and I don't know how, is that many of my ancestors on both sides of my tree died of heart disease/coronary disease/hypertension etc. yet I have low blood pressure and having just had all the heart tests possible, apparently my heart is working exceptionally well for someone of my age (77). Both my parents lived into their 90s even though their parents didn't (both their fathers died young, my mum's dad from TB, my dad's dad in a motorcycle accident) but my maternal gran died from a stroke and my paternal gran from pancreatic cancer. Today, I guess my maternal gran's hypertension would have been under proper control so she may have had a much longer life, unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is no more curable now than it was in the 1950s when my paternal gran died.
