It was when he was required to "give a list" of the names of ladies with whom he had slept to the health authorities after his diagnosis that her suspicions were confirmed and, she says, "it was hell on earth".
Noting that it has been 14 years since her husband died, Stone says while she is not sure if the length of her life can be attributed to "medicine, genetics, sheer luck, or her psychological makeup", she is not prepared to let it run out before she has done all she needs to do.
