    31 days of perfect health and then drop dead? Or 31 days of slow, debilitating, crushing agony and pain and then death? I just lost my best friend to perotineal cancer, from diagnosis to her passing was 97 days. She made plans to travel with her daughter, spend time with friends, write a will, etc. but she ended up spending a majority of that time in the hospital on heavy duty narcotics and offer her nut because of them. I don’t think anyone would plan on spending their last 31 days like that but it’s more realistic.

    Tldr: do the things you would do with news like this now… Don’t wait until it might be impossible.

        I appreciate that. She was an amazing person. I told her she was just dying so she didn’t have to suffer through another Trump presidency.
