Sorry to hear of it. Notice the sychronicity of leaving the B.A. and Google, going back home to be with loved ones, and then discovering this. You are with loved ones, which will help. That didn’t happen by accident.

My diag was a shock at 62. Stage 2, throat. Healthy athletic guy. Out of nowhere, realized something small was suspicious myself and went to the doctor. Then another and another. It was like reading a book or seeing a move about someone else. It wasn’t any easier than at 35, because I still felt like 35. My family lives to their late 90s, so I had lots of plans. I never accepted that i had cancer. I thought “I have a cancer.” I’m going to do what it takes to get rid of that thing. Treatment was harsh but I’m done with it now. But it made me realized I had an amazing life. Now I work in high tech again, and these days I don’t get as concerned as others around me when sh** is going wrong. Actually, it’s hard for me to take it as seriously as others do because I know the full scale of possibilities. They freak out, but I just say, “Hey, nobody’s shooting at me, and I’m not about to die of cancer.” My goal is not the next expensive car or tons of the latest tech gadgets. Civilization on the brink of collapse? No biggie. I’m thankful to be alive and cancer free.

I hope you make it through like I did Scott. Sending healing vibes your way! All you other people, get real. Stay calm, carry on, and don’t let the media bend your minds.
