Trucker, it's stories like these that help the rest of us appreciate what we have; thanks for sharing yours, and I surely hope you become part of the 3.5 percent.

I don't have a lot of advice to offer on auctions, etc. I'd find a financial planner or tax person that I trust and take their advice, knowing that anything you do will likely have consequences for your survivors. A finance pro can help you avoid the worst of them.

The only thing I wanted to offer advice-wise is this: you're not dumb for considering no treatment. Chemo and radiation therapy are hellish things to go through, and I personally don't blame anyone who chooses not to go through them. Lost my mom a couple years ago to colon cancer; she opted not to treat it, since it was late-stage when she was diagnosed. I didn't blame her a bit, and still don't.

I hope you'll continue to share your story and your perspective with us as you make this journey. And if we don't meet in this life, I'll see you in the next one...
