The Old Crem 3,647 Posted December 30, 2020 In honour of her elevation to the Damehood I thought I would start a thread for her. Looks to still in good health but is now 87 and feels like a future deathlister. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dying Probably 579 Posted December 30, 2020 At 87, it's a fair thread. I wouldn't put her on the list for a good few years though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imelda 626 Posted December 31, 2020 Seemed a bit behind the curve the last time I heard her on JAM but given her age, that's understandable. She'll be around for a little while yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 11,094 Posted January 5, 2021 She may only have months to live: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/dame-sheila-hancock-told-gyles-23260303 But not really because of illness, more like because of age. She has rheumatoid arthritis but that shouldn't kill her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charles De Gaulle 487 Posted January 5, 2021 A rheumatoid arthritis flareup would absolutely kill her at her age. She has to keep to a strict diet to keep it at bay and she sounds like she is getting exhausted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She has to keep to a strict diet to keep it at bay and she sounds like she is getting exhausted. With some simple lifestyle changes and a bit of management she'll be fine. My nan had it for years and bar it being a nasty PITA, it's just another old age ailment - better that than cancer. I assume you mean 'kill' in the figuartive sense, here...
