Ok, if you had to do it over what would you change? What would you like to tell your younger self.
If I had to change something I'd have gone to school somewhere totally different, I love my college friends, but I know if I had gone somewhere else I'd have friends from there that I loved. I don't regret my choice just would love to know what else life could have been ...
I'd tell my younger self to just be me. To not care what others think and to be true to myself ... I am so much happier doing that now!

I know a woman whose friend had cancer in his liver, stomach, lungs and brain and now the cancer is gone from the liver, stomach and lungs and there is only a very small tumor in the brain. AMAZING!

How is your wife doing now? I know several people that have had brain tumors but have gone on to a full recovery. I hope she is doing well.
She is doing pretty well, thanks for asking. Has some "interesting" cognitive issues, especially with smell and certain analytic skills with numbers, as a result. She will occasionally be struggling to do/say something and just smile and say "I'm having a tumor moment." Her tumor is not of the type that will kill her, thank God.
Of course, it only took 9+ years, over $250,000 out of pocket, and losing almost everything we owned twice to get her to this point, but it would have been cheap at twice the price.
A "tumor moment": Several years ago, I told her I was going to clean the basement (no small task). She said, "Be sure to throw out all the Christmas lights." I asked her why and she said "Because they smell bad." "What? Do you mean one of the cats peed on them?" "No, they just smell bad." "They are made of glass and plastic, how in heaven can they smell?" "They just smell, please get rid of them." I smelled them, and the didn't smell at all, but I gave them to Goodwill anyway, since it seemed to be so important to her.
