>Eckersley died of cancer on September 2, 2022...

The closer I get to 40, the more anxious I grow after reading stories like this. Guess I can just let it motivate me to appreciate those in my life and push me towards achieving goals.

Rest well Peter.

By all means please let it motivate you to get regular cancer check-ups. I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from the side of my nose a few years ago. I recently went to a dermatologist for something different and was told that I should be coming in at least once every six months for a cancer screening (because I had previously had cancer and because I am whiter than the whitest freckled ghost).
