Speaker 2 (00:11):
We've got an email here from somebody. They're going to
remain anonymous. Ah, but this is quite quite an intense email.
I wanted to ask advice and maybe the listeners if
they have any ideas. I've been listening to you guys
for a long time. Basically, I found out in twenty
twenty two that I had breast cancer, underwent treatment. It
was long, nearly ten months. Grateful I listened to the podcast,
(00:32):
got me through, went through chemo. I've had three years
cancer free. Last month month found out it's returns and
it's now stage four. This is really little that can
be done. Sorry, So my question is if you had
two years left, what would you do?

the job. I just said, we can spend as much
time as together as possible, so we can go on

to just like shower you with like I'm so sorry
this has happened and how awful, But.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I also think you'll live it up as hard as
it and it probably was hard times coming to terms
of it. The fact that you're like, Okay, come on,

I'd be I'd really struggle to get into that mindset.
So it's pretty awesome to.

would be that. But then you just have to get
over it.

the sprows say, Yeah, okay, where would be a top
location for you? You got to eat food? Oh my god,
