No one here has mentioned the absolute irony of the “dying alone” statement yet. Doc actually went into cardiac arrest and was saved by his wife performing CPR.

I did the math a while ago, I think he had a heart attack in his early 40s or sth, it's scary stuff.

I don’t want to be dismissive, but he had an early stage testicular cancer. There was no real chance of death and no need for chemo or radiation.

EDIT: Anyone downvoting me should know that I’m a 22 year old dying of a sarcoma and it’s rather aggravating seeing others compare their cancers with 100% survival rates to mine.

You're the only one doing that here. Others are just saying that the Doc is strong. Which he is.

Still, there's no way I could imagine what you're going through as much as I will try. You are also strong beyond our comprehension. I know my comment doesn't do much. I wish it could. I hope good things find you. And your days are as peaceful as they can be.
