Thanks for sharing this with us. 

Honestly I have chosen not to worry about what IFs. 

I never worried about getting cancer in the first place. 

Life is to short to worry about dieing. 

Live well 

Treat people with love and respect. 

Enjoy every day we have. 

If we have unfinished business take care of it sooner than later. 

Be thankful for what you got.
