I think you shd differentiate on the cancer. I know somebody got a light skin cancer at ard 75, did minor surgery and lived until 96.

I expect in the guy's mind he was thinking more like "after 75 I won't do chemotherapy"

Yeah I think the point was not to do any of the drastic treatments that you might if you were younger. Some of them end up prolonging agony, and that's not worth it unless you are younger.
