I am so weak medically that I probably would't survive the treatments...even if it was caught at an early stage.....

Probably since I turned 40, I've been thinking of something special for my 50th birthday. I considered a significant purchase (think house, or special car), and a significant trip... but nothing felt right. Around September last year my goal for "the 50th anniversary of me" became clear. By April 2021 I will be in the best shape I've been in this century. I stopped my crazy cycling around 1999 (28 yrs old), and the turn of the century sets a good fitness benchmark to meet/surpass by the time I'm 50.
Right now I'm ~3 months in; I feel great; and have already established the habit of working out every morning. It's part of how I wake up now. Next step, I dial in my nutrition... Here I am back in the day rockin my Mack Trucks coveralls with my Tims, on my modded Huffy Thunder Road, complete with "bread loaf" seat, and shorter forks. Ha!

Old? Yeah, I am getting there. Have been dealing with a myriad of health issues over the past four years, thankfully none of them have caused me to attain room temperature...yet. I just look at it this way, no matter how much I may THINK life sucks on a given day, I always realize some people have it much worse.
I thank my lucky stars for a wonderful and supportive family (who put pills in my drink and tell me life is fine when I wake up).

Just learned today that my sister (2 years older) has been diagnosed with a bad heart valve. Dad died from complications after heart valve surgery. Mom has a bad valve but is too old for surgery. Younger brother (1 year younger) died a few years ago from a heart attack. Yet my damn insurance company claims there is no reason for me to have a stress test done.
WTF?

Go anyway. I have complained of heart pain for 20 years probably and always told it was nothing. I finally had whole workup done including scan and wearing a monitor. Results were favorable but gave me peace of mind.

Especially with your family history. We all have to be our own best advocates when it comes to our health. The health care industry puts a lot of effort into telling us what we should do to be healthy, because it saves them money. They want me to eat a salad instead of a bacon cheeseburger, because it'll lower the likelihood that I'll need care that they'll have to pay for. When it's something they have to do and it costs money, well...that's just not possible, not a good idea, they don't do it that way, yada yada yada. They look out for their own interests, and we have to do the same.

I've been riding 100 miles/week for almost 3 years now and regularly see heart rates in the 180-190 range, so I doubt I have any serious issue at this point. But I would like some test done beyond a simple EKG to really put my mind at ease about it. About 10 years ago I had a stress test done and they said I had a strong heart. But shit changes in 10 years. I can't believe stress tests are that expensive in the first place. You run on a treadmill and then they do an ultrasound. Can't be that costly.

You're paying for the $2M settlement and lawyer fees and court costs for the fat fuck that vapor-locked on the treadmill 2 years ago.

They're ok paying for a colonoscopy every 10 years. That has to be pricey with the special room and equipment and all that. I would think a stress test is the same sort of diagnostic procedure to catch problems before they become hugely expensive to fix. But what do I know. I'll have another heart to heart with my doctor. Maybe with this new incidence of family medical history they'll come around and agree to a test.
Sux getting old.
