Wow, so sorry to hear that Mac, but to add to what Everette said, knowing CANCER is not final and not the death sentence it used to be, can be a comfort and a motivator. It can also help you appreciate the time you have, which we take for granted and do nothing with most of the time. And you're right, we all complain about success in music, but most of us wrote a song, MAYBE record it, and then expect the world to change. It takes hard work and years of honing your craft. and not taking no for an answer, and starving and struggling to MAYBE smell commercial success. Most of us are not willing to do it, others are willing to sleep on a train track in order to.

I hope you find comfort and peace, and I hope you live more now that you ever have. Don't forget we are all terminal, we are all finite, tomorow is guaranteed to no one. Sometimes it's a blessing having the knowledge ahead of time, so you can use the time wisely.

Also dont forget, Cancer is not the death sentence it used to be, there's lots that can be done, and there are clinical trials constantly going on. There are treatments in other countries, that are not allowed here that you could explore.

Nutrition and exercise can extend and sustain you. And don't look at statistics, that's all they are. some people die at 1 years old. others at 101, but average life expectancy is like 80 years maybe, It's just numbers and u don't have to be one.

It's great that you have music, many people don't. You can do this!

Leave you with the words of The Boss "it's not the time in your life, it's the life in your time"
