"I think at some point you've gotta reconcile that death is possible, of course death is inevitable for all of us down the road but when you get a diagnosis of cancer I think you've gotta really decide, do you really want to fight this, because if you decide you don't wanna fight it, I think you really can die faster but I determined somewhere early on that I really wanted to live and I was I believe about 43 at that time, and you know they say, life begins at 40 a lot of interesting things were going on in my life."
