@myoga Excellent!
Yes, especially with advanced-stage cancer, we have the irrational thought that we're either jinxing things or being naïve by making long-term plans.
But next month will be the 5-year anniversary of my diagnosis with de-novo stage-4b prostate cancer (spread to my spine). Eventually we just have to accept that nothing's ever certain anyway, and get on with life.

Exactly! I had a very sad thought when I bought those tickets. What if I won’t be there, that will be sad for my family. But as you said we need to get on with life. A very wise person once said to me “fear doesn’t stop death, it stops life”
Congratulations for making it through 5 years. I’ve just passed 4 years of breast cancer. Here is to many years to come for both of us.
