Longevity is in my genes as well.
When my great grandmother was 105 (and still walking, didn't need glasses and had all her teeth), they found a lump on her breast. Knowing that she would not survive a surgery at 105, they decided to just let nature take its course.
After a few months, it started getting nasty and festering. It was finally determined that even though it would probably kill her, to go ahead with the surgery.
She lived to be 107.
