I am dying and have 24 hours before treatment starts. I want to say so many things.

Hi! 53 male here. Metastatic lung cancer. Been fighting for 9 months. I'm surprised I have this much time. I'll do my best to answer any questions. I'm very tired so I will be typing dictation at parts. <br><br>I'm happily married to my wife and have been for over 30 years. We have two kids in their 20s. 5 siblings, all doing their thing. Close with my mom but pretty much out on own so she doesn't have to worry about me any more. Not much of a father figure to my kids but they have always had a warm relationship with my sister. Very close with my siblings and niece/nephews. Not so great with cousins (I'm sorry!! I was always so nervous around you guys as a kid). Best friends with my wife, although could be better there. <br><br>Too many ex's to count, all still friends with one possible exception. Too much booze in young adult years, too much work in middle aged years. Too much work has caused missing too many important moments/occasions/weekends. Too much work has caused consequences that I have already lived through and a few that I am going to have to tell my wife tomorrow. <br><br>I saved enough, everyone will be taken care of. I've said everything I need to say. No need for regrets, I am doing just fine. <br><br>I'm excited to see my mom and dad again, as well as grandparents and a couple of cousins that were fresher in my mind when I was younger. <br><br>I'll be petting my dog when I go. <br><br>I have to get some rest now. Love you all. Thank you for listening!!
