What you just said, you know, getting started and not wasting time because you don’t know how long you’re going to live—essentially that’s true for everybody, you know nobody knows kind of what their life is going to be like, how long you’re going to live, what your quality of life is going to be. But definitely having cancer in my history makes me think a lot more about, you know, what the end of my life is going to be like and when it’s going to be, and obviously I don’t know when that’s going to be but I think that’s probably the reason why we’re eager to get started and get on with all the things that we want to do in our life because here’s our life and it’s really precious and we want to live it now.
