Hello everyone. Hard to believe I’m writing this. I’m 55. A month ago if someone told me I could die suddenly I’d think they were joking. Today I was told just that and I didn’t think he was joking.

September 10, 2025 was the day I was told I had 10-20 tumors of varying sizes in my liver. Two days later I had biopsies done and on the 17th was told they were malignant. On the 25th I was given a 40% chance to get two more years. Today when I told the doctors I’d be back at work on Thursday after I get discharged tomorrow, they looked at each other and the senior doctor advised against going back to work. I feel strong now because I’m young, but could easily take a steep drop and even pass suddenly.

I’m still working. I work in senior living and it’s probably the best place for me. Even after I stop, I’ll be there visiting every chance I get. I think it’s time for me to step back from work though. I have a lot of support from my friends and family and I’m sure there are a lot more people here more deserving than I, but I feel it’s time for me to take this step.
