my mother died on the 20th (2 days before my bday) of lung and liver cancer.  this is one of those situations where words just won't suffice but words are all a person has.
keep a positive attitude and realize that it's never too late to make adjustments that suit YOU.  and make sure you go through all the treatments the doctors "highly" recommend and enjoy every single day.
it sounds like they caught it in time and i hope you pull through this with flying colors.
